Nurses Who Kill

I found this series on Netflix and couldn't stop watching it ever since. It's very interesting and also scary to see how some people are capable of murdering the most vulnerable just to satisfy their egos. And you get to see what's on their minds too; we learn about their lives, childhood, and how they acted during their work. I'm also addicted to the intro music and hope they'll have a soundtrack somewhere. My verdict: watch it to see how far some people can go to live in a fantasy and justify it to themselves, also how the authorities failed to do research when the alarms were raised in the first place.

All the episodes had similar content. Very repetitive, each episode had same sentences used over and over again which makes the documentary kind of boring. More information would be better and would be more interesting for viewers because this documentary had a great potential to be better in terms of real footages used as even the footages were repetitive. They didn't use a single nurse for her/his experience and views on this.

Many of the episodes of "nurses" who kill have nothing to do with "nurses". There is not such profession as a "carer" and EMT's and other ancillary healthcare professionals are NOT nurses and cannot and DO NOT provide "nursing care". Whoever made this trainwreck doesn't understand the healthcare system at all so it's unlikely the information is nothing more than trite melodrama. Stopped watching after 2 minutes when they kept referring to non nurses providing "nursing care".

I'm not sure why it's so hard to get this right. It's not a complicated concept to understand who is and isn't a "nurse".

What do Colin Norris, Daniela Poggiali, and Ben Geen have in common? They are almost certainly innocent, according to many scholars and experts who have studied these cases closely. Miscarriages of justice do happen. They happen rather often (a) in the UK, (b) in serial killer nurse cases. These cases are fortunately very rare, but also very challenging. Courts must first decide whether or not there actually were any murders at all, and only if so, who was the perpetrator. Typically some surprising incident combined with pre-existing gossip about a nurse who stands our in the crowd, in a hospital which actually is failing due to bad management, understaffing etc, triggers a witch hunt and a witch trial. Forensic research is not done by police investigators buy by hospital specialists and managers, who give the information to police and to the courts, and who are needed to interpret that information. It's a recipe for disaster. Daniela Poggiali (Italy) has been acquitted after a retrial. The toxicological and statistical evidence against her was pure garbage.

I find this documentary interesting although I wonder why the director hasn't used a nurse as a professional adviser.For the events viewed having a nurses perspective with their standards and exactly what they do would have been more grounded than having a doctor (although well spoken and informative) give a nurses view...physicians do not do our job they are not the expert in our processes. I cannot speak for other countries but in Canada nurses are autonomous from physicians we have our own standards and an excellent knowledge of science that we apply.We work closely with physicians but also lab pharmacy..physio and other professionals...nurses coordinate this and together with all the team support the physician in their decisions. Physicians rely heavily on nursing knowledge and assessment...caring is something ALL professions do. To validate nurses who kill..have a nurse's perspective not a physicians.
