Killer Doctors - Bruce Sackman

Recently I have been watching the series Dr Death on the streaming service Stan here in Australia. It's a true crime series that is extremally unnerving as both season 1 and 2 tell stories of Dr's who would weave a web of lies, manipulation and utter devastation. Countless patients would have their lives forever changed at the hands of these men, men who they were supposed to be able to trust, with some patients even dying from what was done to them.

I wanted to find out more about this world and these Dr's and nurses who go from taking an oath to help people to ultimately destroing lives. So today I sit down with former Special Agent Bruce Sackman for a fascinating and quiet terrifying two part discussion on medical serial killers.

When veterans hospital patients who are recovering well all of a sudden start to die in increasing numbers, it’s up to VA Special Agent in Charge Bruce Sackman to find out why. His shocking discovery rips open the hidden world of what goes on behind the bedside curtains when a killer doctor or nurse decides a patient must die, as detailed in his book Behind the Murder Curtain.

The true story of Bruce Sackman, Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General. Sackman’s main responsibilities had been investigating white-collar crimes such as embezzlement when he is drawn into the macabre world of doctors and nurses who murder their patients. Sackman evolves from an investigator of routine cases to the world’s leading expert on Medical Serial Killers—MSKs—doctors and nurses who ply their evil trade hidden behind the privacy curtain at a patient’s bedside.

Behind the Murder Curtain tells how this dedicated investigator brought down four MSKs in Veterans Hospitals while developing the RED FLAGS PROTOCOL, which is now taught to investigators and forensic nurses throughout the world as a tool for stopping an MSK.
