Angels of Mercy or Killers in Scrubs

Hospitals are where we go to mend — where strangers in scrubs become our lifelines. We trust them with our pain, our secrets, our very survival.

But what happens when that trust is betrayed in the most chilling way imaginable?

In Angels of Mercy or Killers in Scrubs, Bill Stewart uncovers the disturbing true stories of medical professionals who turned from healers to hunters. From Britain’s Beverly Allitt, the nurse who preyed on children under the NHS’s nose, to America’s Charles Cullen, whose confessions hinted at hundreds of silent hospital murders — these cases reveal just how easily compassion can curdle into cruelty.

Why were warnings ignored? How did hospitals allow such darkness to flourish behind their spotless curtains? And could it still be happening, unseen, even now?

Through meticulous research and a keen investigator’s eye, Stewart pulls back the sterile drapes to expose a world where mercy becomes murder — and trust becomes the ultimate weapon.

Step carefully. You may never look at a hospital ward the same way again.
