When veterans’ hospital patients on the road to recovery suddenly die in increasing numbers, it’s up to VA Special Agent in Charge Bruce Sackman to find out why. His shocking discovery rips open the hidden world of what goes on behind the bedside curtains when a killer doctor or nurse decides a patient must die, as detailed in his book Behind the Murder Curtain: Special Agent Bruce Sackman Hunts Doctors and Nurses Who Kill Our Veterans.
In this episode, we talk to Bruce about the dark world of MSKs — medical serial killers — doctors and nurses who murder the people who trust and rely on them for care. We get into everything from sinister motivations to the strategies these predators use to avoid detection — sometimes for years — among the enshrined halls of our nation’s medical institutions.
