The Poor Historians: Medical History Misadventures

Physician Serial Killer - Dr. Thomas Neill Cream (aka The Lambeth Poisoner)


Listen Later

What was missing from this point in this podcast was a good true crime episode.  So here you go!  This is the story of Dr. Thomas Neill Cream, a physician and serial killer that, despite his best efforts to NOT hide his crimes all that well, took way to long to be caught.  There is also speculation he may have been Jack the Ripper.  This is a dark and twisted tale that shows the Hippocratic oath is a suggestion, not a rule, for evil unscrupulous physicians.
