(21,751 posts)Just read this morning about serial killer Donald Harvey. Confessed to killing over 80 people as he worked as an aide in nursing homes, hospitals.
He said he killed the first patient, an old man, by smothering him with a pillow. Donald was freaked out, sure he would be caught.
Then...nothing happened. Nobody asked questions, nobody was suspicious, they just processed the body and life went on.
That gave him a thrill. He was smarter than the doctors, smarter than the nurses. And he continued killing patients. Sometimes he would intentionally foul up their medicine, sometimes he would cut off their oxygen, sometimes he would physically smother them. He was never under suspicion, never questioned, all the deaths were written up as natural causes. He finally fouled up when he gave a patient arsenic, and an alert doctor detected the smell.
How many other Donald Harveys are there? This guy seems like a candidate, and I hope they go back and examine his work record. It is extremely rare for a man of this age to just wake up one morning and pull a stunt like this.
He should never be allowed to work in health care in any capacity ever again.
