The Good Nurse: a True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder Pdf FREE THE GOOD NURSE: A TRUE STORY OF MEDICINE, MADNESS, AND MURDER PDF Charles Graeber | 320 pages | 15 Apr 2013 | Little, Brown & Company | 9780446505291 | English | United States The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder by Charles Graeber Ronald S. By Charles Graeber. Pages: The Good Madness is the true story of Charles Cullen, a nurse who likely took the lives of hundreds of patients in nine hospitals along the New Jersey—Pennsylvania border, over a yr period from to If these estimates The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine correct, Cullen would be one of the most prolific serial killers in U. Cullen, who had The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine substantial background of mental illness and multiple suicide attempts, accomplished his murders by injecting lethal doses of medications, such as insulin and digoxin, while working as an intensive care nurse. Earlier this year, he was interviewed for a 60 Minutes segment; it was the first time this television news show had ever interviewed a serial killer. Most are like Cullen—they possess a complicated dysfunctional and insecure emotional life that leads them to a position of power where they become euphoric while witnessing the consequences of their actions, or as they rise to hero status during the subsequent rescue. The Good Nurse is written by Charles Graeber, a freelance journalist and former medical student and scientific researcher. He conducted a series of and Murder with Cullen from prison as well as with the detectives who cracked the case and a host of Madness characters. The story of Charles Cullen is described in two roughly equal Madness. As a sensitive and enduring listener, he befriended The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine coworkers easily, and was generally well liked by those who did not know his inner secrets. Much of this first section describes the details of how Cullen poisoned his victims, with information presumably learned from Cullen himself. Although some hospitals strongly suspected Cullen of poisoning patients, they chose not to alert authorities because of the negative publicity that would be generated. Neither patient was ordered to receive digoxin nor was there any record of its administration. Massive digoxin toxicity in one patient is a mystery, and Murder in two it is murder. And Murder we lived in an ideal world, at the moment of this chilling revelation, everything would have come to a halt: law authorities would have been alerted, toxicologists summoned, and the scenes of the purported crimes sealed off with yellow tape. Every needle dispenser would have been quarantined and searched and video camera footage inspected. At the very least, And Murder would have been placed on h surveillance and not allowed anywhere near a patient. But none of this occurred. He rued this decision during a tearful moment while being interviewed for the 60 Minutes segment. Reading this book, I became enraged at the system surrounding the inappropriateness of neutral professional references. Hospitals that strongly suspected Cullen of wrongdoing were unwilling to offer those suspicions to subsequent employers because of the fear of litigation for unlawful termination. Graeber takes hospitals to task for their willingness to turn a blind The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine to potential problematic employees as long as the wards are adequately staffed. For example, while working at Warren General Hospital, in Warren, Pennsylvania, Cullen attempted suicide after stalking a coworker and breaking into her house in the middle of the night. During his stay there, the nursing office of Warren Hospital left him a message asking how soon his psychiatrist could clear him so that he could return to his previous position. The Good Nurse is a solemn, but enjoyable read. I learned a lot about the paucity of hospital security systems, and I was surprised by the brazen haughtiness of hospitals in the name of preserving their bottom line. In the future, I will be more circumspect of unusual circumstances that occur in the hospital. I was surprised when my background research on this topic revealed many more medical serial killers than I had heard about. Unexplained medical deaths should be thoroughly examined, without deference to fear of litigation or political incentives, and neutral references should be Madness further.

  • The Funeral of Mr. Wang Examines Social Change in Urbanizing China Through the Lens of Funerals, the Funerary Industry, and Practices of Memorialization
    KIPNIS ANTHROPOLOGY | ASIAN STUDIES In rural China funerals are conducted locally, on village land by village elders. But in urban areas, people have neither land for burials nor elder relatives to conduct funerals. Chinese urbanization, which has increased drastically in recent decades, involves the creation of cemeteries, state-run funeral homes, WANG OF MR. FUNERAL THE and small private funerary businesses. The Funeral of Mr. Wang examines social change in urbanizing China through the lens of funerals, the funerary industry, and practices of memorialization. It analyzes changes in family life, patterns of urban sociality, transformations in economic relations, the politics of memorialization, and the echoes of these changes in beliefs about the dead and ghosts. “This book is highly original and addresses a topic of central importance to understanding Chinese family life and the limits of a party-state’s regulatory THE FUNERAL OF MR. WANG power over the society and individual citizens. Original and systematic field- work is expertly used to illustrate core arguments. To my knowledge there is no competing ethnography.” LIFE, DEATH, AND GHOSTS IN URBANIZING CHINA Deborah Davis, Professor Emerita of Sociology, Yale University ANDREW B. KIPNIS “The Funeral of Mr. Wang is a vivid portrait of how the transition from life to death is negotiated in the midst of a rapidly transforming urban Chinese so- ciety. Showing how death in contemporary China generates interconnected processes of cultural recombination among family members, funeral service providers, bureaucratic regulators, strangers, and ghosts, this book will be crit- ical reading for all students of China and of death in contemporary societies.” David A.

  • Pre- and Post-Offence Behaviours of Healthcare Serial Killers As a Confidence Game
    Pre- and Post-Offence Behaviours of Healthcare Serial Killers as a Confidence Game by Christine Katherine Lubaszka A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in The Faculty of Social Science and Humanities Criminology University of Ontario Institute of Technology October, 2012 © Christine Katherine Lubaszka, 2012 ABSTRACT Extant literature, while plentiful on the topic of serial homicide in general, does not adequately examine the phenomena of healthcare professionals who serially murder their patients. Using a sample of 58 healthcare serial killers located within North America, South America and Europe between the years of 1970-2010, this study examines notable pre- and post-offence behaviours of healthcare serial killers. Patterns related to offender etiology, victim cultivation, crime scene behaviour and techniques of evasion were explored. The findings from this study suggest that the pre- and post-offence behaviours of healthcare serial killers can be examined from the theoretical framework of confidence men or ‘con men.’ The findings from this study also suggest that healthcare serial killings and offenders who perpetrate them continue to be elusive and warrant additional scholarly attention to reduce their likelihood of engaging in homicide undetected for extended periods of time. Policy implications are also discussed. Keywords: serial homicide, healthcare serial killers, medical murder, clinicide, techniques of evasion, victim cultivation, confidence men, con men i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to my master’s thesis supervisor, Dr. Phillip Shon, for his valuable expertise, support and patience throughout the last two years.

  • Healthcare Serial Killers
    Angels of Death: The Male Nurses share Comments Mercy or Power? Charles Cullen Charles Cullen, 43 and a male nurse, is among those healthcare professionals who apparently decided over the years that certain patients should die.� �When he was charged in two cases in December 2003, according to the Newark Star Ledger, he admitted that in the past 16 years in the 10 healthcare institutions in which he worked, he was responsible for taking the lives of 30 to 40 patients.� He was being merciful, he said, but their cases and his actions indicate otherwise.� Although he has not yet specified the names of his victims as of this writing, in the past year he dispatched almost one patient per montha rate that raises questions about his motives.� �He also confessed in a way that indicated the murders were a source of empowerment for him.� He didnt have to confess, so why did he?� Was he trying to tell those with whom he has worked, See what I got away with all that time? Reverend Florian Gall Cullen has been charged with the murder of Reverend Florian Gall at the Somerset�Medical Center in Somerville, New Jersey, and the attempted murder of cancer patient Jin Kyung Han, who was saved from his overdose by an antidote but who died months later from unrelated causes.� On both, Cullen is suspected of using a lethal dose of digoxin, a heart medication, which he procured through deceptive computer manipulation from hospital supplies.� After he was fired, he was found to be the common denominator among six patients with abnormal test results.
