Doctors have at their disposal a number of devious ways to extinguish life-and just as many motives-should they desire. Some do. In Killer Doctors, the dark side of the men in white is revealed.
This book is missing one key doctor and that is Dr. Harold Shipman of England but they do mention the notorious doctor. The book focuses on doctors who kill their spouses, children, lovers, and of course, the patients. There are variety of doctors written about in this book that do get my attention like the Italian American doctor who is found guilty of killing his wife and his mistress' husband. Of course, the mistress doesn't go away quietly and she testifies against him after he dumps her for another woman. This book is really an anthology of doctors who commit murders. One doctor kills both of his own sons for insurance money was the one that made me angry the most. One doctor gains a taste for murdering his patients in America and in Africa unbeknownst to the authorities over there that he was practicing medicine. It's an okay book with some pictures of the doctors who look more like criminals than doctors themselves. I believe almost all the doctors written about it in this book are male. If you are true crime reader like myself, you'll find this book interesting.
