She was a single mom of 2 kids in new york, with a house and babysitter and a single income, plus a medical conditions with high out of pocket expenses. It was 100% accurate. And as a nurse, we definitely do not always have excellent benefits...especialy when you add in lots of medical bills and medications. And this was 2003, not 2022.
And 9 hospitals shuffled this nurse around for like 15 years, many knowing he was responsible for killing or harming patients but couldn't prove it or didn't want the liability, so they let him be hired by the next hospital. Then the last hospital covered up once they found fowl play and only finally went to the cops months later because they legally had to, and slowed down the investigation by not being forthcoming with results and information....which resulted in many more deaths. He potentially killed over 400 patients over his life as a nurse, makes him the most prolific serial killer in America.
You should read the book, it goes into so much detail on his entire life, every hospital he worked at, his psych history, suicide attempts, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, stalking, multiple arrests, animal abuse, the cover ups by the hospitals, how he got away with being shuffled around.
They had so much content to use, I wish they made this a mini series instead!!! Would have been even better!!
