    About this ebook

    In his first true crime book, John Summit reveals the fascinating true stories of seven deadly doctors from the journals of history, who actually murdered family, friends and patients.

    Doctors can do remarkable things. They have found ways to make people live longer and extend their quality of life and have found cures to some of the most horrific and notorious diseases that humanity has ever seen.

    However, there are doctors who take their position of respect and authority and abuse it. When that happens, horrors beyond imagining can happen. A doctor who comes unleashed from his oath and desire to help, can become the greatest monster humanity can possibly know.

    You will gain insight into the minds of these insane doctors; some who were even classified as serial killers.

      Introduction

      One of the things that doctors do upon completing their medical training and being inducted into the medical community is taking and committing to something called the ‘Hippocratic Oath.’ When taken, the oath states that any doctor who is working within the medical field promises to work and deliver care in an ethical and honest manner and that they will not do any harm to the patients that they have sworn to provide care for. For the vast majority of doctors this oath is taken very seriously. Even when they are doing radical new procedures and testing out new medications for their patients, they try to keep this oath in the forefront of their minds and adhere to it to the best of their abilities and for the duration of their services.

      People trust doctors. Most people will ask a myriad of questions relating to just about anything, from the salad dressing on their lunch, to the proper operation of their cell phone to the general public. However, when they get into the doctor’s office, they tend to completely clam up and shut down. They trust their doctors, believing that the years of college and medical school have given them so much knowledge that any questions they might ask will seem stupid.

      For the majority of doctors who take their oath seriously, this is not a problem. However, doctors are human. While most are committed to serving the community at large to the best of their abilities and have good intentions, there are some medical professionals who allow their egos and years of training to influence them in such a way that they develop what is referred to as a ‘God complex.’ This term is often used when doctors feel that they have ‘God-like’ abilities to heal people and often their belief systems make them think they have special healing powers that others do not. In extreme cases, this complex can contribute to these doctors becoming sociopaths or psychopaths to the detriment of those they are assisting. When that happens, the results are often shocking to the public and many documented cases abound where the ego of a medical professional has caused more harm than good. In some cases it has caused death.

      These days, the news is filled with trials of doctors who have done horrible things. Some doctors are accused of providing medication to celebrities to the point of death. Other doctors are accused of molesting, accosting and attacking their patients. Sometimes they are accused of murdering their patients, using
