High school friends can be lifelong, amidst drama and little spats that seem like a big deal at the time. Often we come back to one core group of people, and sometimes one person in particular, your person that you just click with. I think all of us can remember our best high school friend. When one young woman went missing and was found murdered, her best friend since childhood led the quest for justice. Once the horrifying truth was revealed, every belief, every truth was shattered.

Okay true crime friends, this guy is a mega douche. He let extreme greed run his life and took advantage of THOUSANDS of people who trusted him to provide the medications their doctors had prescribed. Instead of helping others, he made himself a multi-millionaire. Leaving many families of his victims wondering if he was the reason their loved ones didn't have a good outcome.

Today you get 3 stories of nursing home horrors, that will make you even less likely to one day want to end up in one, completely reliant on the compassionate and competent care of those entrusted to care for you. We'll talk about a trio of nursing home employees that ignore a dying man's pleas for help resulting in his death, a CNA that is charged with sexual abuse of male and female residents, and a NC nursing home that had such inadequate staff during a southern "snowstorm" that left the facility with dangerously low staffing levels and may have contributed to death and critical illness of its residents.

No one loves the idea of themselves or a loved one going into a nursing home, but sometimes it's necessary whether for safety due to decreased physical function, or due to cognitive impairment making living independently unsafe. Overall nursing homes have a reputation that isn't great but in most cases nursing home employees genuinely care for their residents and try to make it as safe and homelike as possible for those living there. But in this case, one of those employees had a dark side victimizing people who are the most vulnerable amongst us.

The death rate at the Vermilion community hospital had tripled. Patients who were doing well and nearing discharge home were dying, suddenly deteriorating. No one could figure out why, until one nurse supervisor starting digging, and made a horrifying discovery.Though only convicted of 6 murders, it is estimated he was involved in the deaths of many more. So one of the most prolific serial murderers in modern history, and was able to get away with it for way too long, until one brilliant nurse supervisor undertook a huge statistical project, proving that something just wasn't right with this dude.Please remember to rate, review, subscribe, and share!Check out our premium show "Murder State" available exclusively to Patreon subscribers at https://www.patreon.com/medimesspodOfficial MediMess merch at: https://www.bonfire.com/store/medimess-a-medical-true-crime-podcast/License to Kill - Lethal Injections, OxygenWikipediaProsecutors Pursuit of Justice: Deadly Medicine

Medical providers often become romantically involved with other medical providers. Not many understand the demands and emotions tied to the profession of medicine, so in many cases its natural to be drawn to those in similar circumstances. Much like an episode of Grey's Anatomy, drama plays a role too with jealousy, insecurity, lies, violence. And sometimes murder, a reflection of the dark potential of the human soul. Today's story is the case of Shirley Turner, Andrew Bagby, and their son Zachary. Just when you thought it couldn't get any darker, the ultimate evil happens.Sources:Dear Zachary: A letter to his son about his father. 2008, MSNBC Films. Kurt Kuenne.Bagby, David. (2015).

Dr. Anthony Pignataro, Buffalo Butcher, Anchortoupeedouche, AKA one of the worst humans ever. Most plastic surgeries go off without a hitch, aside from some postoperative pain and nausea. In the late 1990s in western new York, one plastic surgeon was blatantly negligent. Harming, disfiguring, and even killing one of his patients. One would think that was bad enough, but then he came after his own family.Sources:License to Kill (Oxygen)Forensic Tales: Dr. Anthony Pignataro – Forensic TalesDr. Anthony Pignataro Resurfaces In Florida Under New Name | Crime News (oxygen.com)I-Team: “Deceitful Doctor” Pignataro is back in business (wkbw.com)Anthony Pignataro: Bad Plastic Surgeon – Forensic Files NowThe disgraced doctor. - Free Online Library (thefreelibrary.com)Disgraced doctor who poisoned wife turns up in South Florida trying to start business – WSVN 7News | Miami News, Weather, Sports | Fort LauderdalePIGNATARO CHILDREN ARE RETURNED TO MOTHER'S HOME | Latest Headlines | buffalonews.comPOISONED PLOT PROSECUTORS SPECULATE THAT ANTHONY PIGNATARO CONCOCTED A BIZARRE SCHEME TO POISON HIS WIFE, HOPING SHE WOULD THEN DIE DURING SURGERY AND THUS VINDICATE HIM IN THE SURGICAL DEATH OF ONE OF HIS PATIENTS | Latest Headlines | buffalonews.comRogue Doctor Kills Patient During Illegal Surgery — and Only Gets 6 Months in Prison | by Ana Writes | The Criminalist | Mediumhttps://www.wkbw.com/news/pignataro-patient-tells-horrific-tale-of-plastic-surgery-gone-wronghttps://forensicfilesnow.com/index.php/tag/anthony-pignataro/https://wsvn.com/news/investigations/disgraced-doctor-who-poisoned-wife-spotted-on-elder-care-website/https://medium.com/the-criminalist/rogue-doctor-kills-patient-during-illegal-surgery-and-only-gets-6-months-in-prison-da5a692ffca8
Likely no name is more synonymous with the “right to die” movement than Jack Kevorkian. He was considered rogue in his day, but never wavered in his advocacy for patients to make their own health care decisions, and likely can be credited with the increased awareness of the role of autonomy in health care and end of life decisions, better usage of palliative and hospice care services. Love him or hate him, he definitely made his mark.Sources:Jack Kevorkian - WikipediaLevinson, B. (2010). You Don't Know Jack.
