About This Item
New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, 1999. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. "What do we know about our doctors? After reading this book readers may decide the answer is, "Not enough." Michael Swango is considered to be one of the most prolific serial killers in the United States; he is thought to have committed at least 60 murders in hospitals throughout the country. How was he able to continue to work in these institutions even after he was convicted of poisoning some of his colleagues? Pulitzer Prize winner Stewart interviews many people to learn more about the man, how he was able to continue his reign of terror, and how he was finally stopped--temporarily. The author also talks with others within the medical field about the mind of the doctor and about ways the profession can work to stop people like him from practicing medicine. At times fascinating and at times downright scary, this book will find a home in most collections." B&W photos. 334 pages. Top & bottom of spine and front cover bottom right corner tip slightly bumped on book and dust jacket..
