Serial Murder

No time stamp

Needs to be 2 to 3 paragraphs

The video below involves Charles Cullen. Only watch the first 26 minutes. Save the rest for next week. Nonetheless, what did Cullen do? What do your readings for the week have to say about Cullen? What new insight does the video provide? Give me at least five things you think hospitals and nursing homes could do to minimize the likelihood of hiring employees with the potential to physically harm patients/residents. Note that some of your readings reference the term “Angel of Death.” Certainly, some of the healthcare serial killers you have read about this week engaged in murder for their own pleasure. However, can you see a situation where multiple murder of people suffering medically would be acceptable even “compassionate” on some level? Put some thought into your response, regardless if your answer is “yes” or “no.”
