Blind Eye: The Terrifying True Story of a Doctor Who Got Away with Murder by James B. Stewart

3.0

This is the true story of a M.D. who murdered patients by injecting them with a variety of different drugs, sometimes potassium, which causes the heart to stop. He also was known to use anectine, which causes paralysis so then you can't breathe. He also poisoned people he worked with or knew with arsenic, which he added to food items. What was so amazing was how he went so long without having to pay the price for his crimes. Hospitals didn't want a lot of bad publicity so they tried to keep things quiet, which served the doctor well. I was surprised how, when applying to residency programs, those in charge didn't check the references given.

I wish the book would have gotten more into why this man became a serial killer. I think Ann Rule could write the story better, giving us a better picture of what drove this doctor to the crimes he committed.
