Are we putting too much trust in doctors? This week, we delve into the chilling narrative of Dr. Michael Swango, known as the "Doctor of Death." Following his seemingly normal upbringing, Swango’s twisted journey into medicine reveals unanswered questions and checks our faith in the healthcare system. 

His medical career began with promise but quickly revealed alarming elements that would later escalate into widespread horror. Colleagues began to notice irregularities during his training—unusual patient deaths and a disturbing penchant for poisons. His antics didn't stop there; after being expelled from the residency program due to his apparent negligence, he sought new opportunities cloaked in lies. Swango's job as an EMT further escalated the dread surrounding him when his coworkers reported widespread illness after interactions with him. 

The shocking revelation about his arrest and poisoning of colleagues only scratches the surface of his manipulative journey—one that continued even after he served time for his crimes. His marriage to nurse Kristen Kinney unveils even more darkness as suspicions and tragedies unfold swiftly. 

Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions as we unpack a narrative filled with twists, red flags, and the deeply troubling reality of a healthcare system failing to protect victims from disguised predators. Join us as we break down how Dr. Swango created a facade of trustfulness while engaging in deadly deception.
