The Doctor Who Killed 215 Patients — And No One Stopped Him

Harold Shipman was a trusted family doctor in a quiet English town — and history's most prolific serial killer. For nearly three decades, he injected his elderly patients with lethal doses of diamorphine, forged their wills, and signed their death certificates himself. Nobody questioned him. Until a funeral director noticed something that didn't add up. This medical true crime documentary examines the full scope of Shipman's crimes: 215 confirmed victims, the psychological profile of a doctor who killed for control, and the devastating institutional failures that let him practice medicine for 27 years while murdering patients in his examining room.
