We, who are patients, who rely upon the knowledge, skill and bona fides of our physicians, are at their mercy — assuming they have any.
By Egon E Mosum
Many doctors, when newly licensed to practice, start out by reciting the Hippocratic Oath.
Here’s a relevant part of it: ‘With regard to healing the sick, I will devise and order for them the best diet, according to my judgment and means; and I will take care that they suffer no hurt or damage.’
Of course, that sounds great in theory, but the fact that there are rich lawyers who prosecute medical malpractice cases indicates that sometimes the medicos fall short of the promise.
But malpractice isn’t malfeasance usually, it’s a screw up.
There are a few other doctors however, that obviously didn’t get the memo about that Hippocratic Oath, and even if they did, didn’t pay any attention to it. These are the few who intentionally damage or kill their patients. These are the real Doctor Dooms.

These are the members of the medical profession who have a murder obsession. Let’s look at some ‘blood samples’ from these scoundrels with a scalpel.
Certain German doctors in history have garnered rather bad reputations. Keeping up with the tradition, in April 2025, an as yet unnamed German physician was charged with murdering fifteen patients.
From the BBC News website, we learn ‘He is accused of administering an anaesthetic and a muscle relaxant to his patients without their knowledge or consent. The relaxant "paralysed the respiratory muscles, leading to respiratory arrest and death within minutes", the prosecutor's office said in a statement.’[1]
In five of the cases, he allegedly set fire to the apartments of his victims to cover up his crimes.[2]
On the other side of the Atlantic, twenty-five years ago, we have Dr. Michael Swango. At the time he was a forty-five-year-old New York physician who was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering three patients. But it’s thought he racked up a total of sixty patients who died under his care.
In a 2000 British Medical Journal article, it seems that Swango didn’t have the best of reputations as a doctor. ‘Swango is thought to have first started killing patients when he was a medical student at Southern Illinois University. After five patients under his care died mysteriously, he became known as “Double-O Swango—licensed to kill.’[3]
Keeping the British end up, around the same time, Dr. Harold Shipman was on trial for killing fifteen of his patients.
In the British Medical Journal reporting on the case, it was revealed from the prosecutor that ‘the defendant killed those 15 patients because, in the submission of the prosecution, he enjoyed doing so. He was exercising the ultimate power of controlling life and death and repeated the act so often he must have found the drama of taking life to his taste.’[4]
Back to the United States, to the State of New York, in Nassau County, where physician Dr. George Blatti in 2021, at the age of seventy-five was arraigned for the murder of five patients.
The Drug Enforcement Agency, on its website, reported that the prosecutor stated ‘We allege that Dr. Blatti showed depraved indifference to human life, total disregarded for the law, his ethical obligations, and the pleas of his patients and their family members when he prescribed massive quantities of dangerous drugs to victims in the throes of addiction, ultimately killing five patients who entrusted him with their care.’[5]
In 2024, Blatti received up to fifteen years in prison, pursuant to a plea bargain in which he admitted to ‘five counts of Manslaughter in the Second Degree.’[6]
In his 2007 article in the Australasian Journal of Psychiatry, discussing this phenomenon of ‘clinicide,’ murder by doctors, author Robert Kaplan stated, ‘Many clinicidal doctors have extreme narcissistic personalities, a grandiose view of their own capability and inability to accept that they could be criticized or need assistance from other doctors. Such doctors develop a God-complex, getting a vicarious thrill out of ending suffering and by determining when a person dies.’[7]
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
We, who are patients, who rely upon the knowledge, skill and bona fides of our physicians, are at their mercy—assuming they have any.
We trust them, at least to some degree, and assume that what they prescribe for us, what they mandate should be the medical treatment we need, is correct and life supporting — not fatal.
It is no secret that the pharmaceutical industry promotes drugs that in one aspect will cure or assist in the cure of one disease, but anyone who has seen a drug commercial knows that at least half of the advertisement quickly details a plethora of side effects, some of which might be fatal.
But that is not an intentional harming by any means. It is the disclosure to the patient of the potential dangers of a prescribed treatment — one prescribed in good faith by a physician who has the intent to heal.
An altogether different thing is where there is malice in the medical professional, and he uses his knowledge and training to harm or kill his patients — on purpose.
Medicine is a licensed and restricted profession, with many privileges. They are authorized to cut us up, they are allowed to prescribe to us what in certain incidences may be accidentally fatal to us, and in other instances will be intentionally fatal.
They have literally been given the power of life and death over their patients. And the patient who doesn’t have the requisite medical knowledge — almost all of them — endows the physician with their trust.
However, the more it is publicized about the prosecution of maniac medicos who use their knowledge and their licensed privilege to intentionally murder their patients, the less trust there will be in the profession, and those who practice it.
This breach of trust brought about by the notorious murderous few doctors, will negatively impact on patients trusting the recommendations for medicine and treatment by their own doctor, and thereby be a source of additional and unintentional death.
