In 1981, the night shift at Bexar County Hospital in San Antonio earned a name whispered in fear... the Death Shift.

 Tiny lives in the pediatric ICU began to fail without warning. Alarms blared. Monitors flatlined. And at the center of it all stood one nurse whose touch brought not healing, but horror.

In this Halloween Special Edition of Past Medical History: The Story of EMS, we take you into one of medicine’s darkest legends: the chilling true story of Genene Jones, the “Angel of Death.” From the fluorescent corridors of a Texas hospital to the courtroom where justice finally spoke for the silenced, this episode unravels the nightmare that changed healthcare forever.
