Imagine waking up from major cardiac surgery, groggy but filled with relief. You are weak, entirely dependent on the medical professionals moving quietly around your bed. Then, someone approaches. You expect a soothing word or a routine check. Instead, a sense of confusion and alarm takes hold as a devastating betrayal occurs within the very space meant for your recovery. In those final moments, a profound vulnerability is exploited by a person sworn to care for you. This is the story of the lives lost and injured by former nurse William George Davis.
