It turns out that British doctor who liked offing his patients ended up killing at least 215 of them. That’s getting into real-life Henry Lee Lucas territory.
If you’re crazy and would like to kill lots of folks, becoming a doctor’s a pretty good way to do it. Reminded me of the last big story I did for my old newspaper, about Michael Swango — the British doc’s American counterpart. (James B. Stewart from the Journal wrote a great book about the Swango case.)
