Hospitals are where we go to heal — to place our lives in steady hands. But what if those hands crave something else entirely?

From brightly lit wards to quiet nursing homes, the very people sworn to protect the vulnerable have, too often, become their hunters. In Angels of Mercy or Killers in Scrubs, Bill Stewart exposes chilling real-life cases of medical professionals who traded compassion for cruelty.

  • Beverly Allitt, the "Angel of Death", who preyed on children under the NHS's nose.
  • Charles Cullen, who confessed to ending over 40 lives in cold, calculated doses — and may have taken hundreds more.
  • The disturbing psychology behind those who claimed they were offering mercy, even as they tightened the tourniquet.
  • Why were so many warnings ignored? How did hospitals and homes allow this darkness to flourish among beeping monitors and spotless gowns? Could it still be happening — right now, unseen?

    Step inside a world where the comforting smell of antiseptic masks a far more sinister rot. You may never look at a hospital ward the same way again.
