About this deal

We collect and match historical records that Ancestry users have contributed to their family trees to create each person’s profile. Colleagues of McTavish told the court how they had witnessed her inject a patient with an entirely unnecessary dose of phenobarbitone and then make no record of the injection, and that she had said at the time, "Doctor likes them to go quietly". Police witnesses claimed that she had admitted carrying out a “mercy killing” and explained that she gave Mrs Lyon the injections because she “wanted to be put out of pain and misery”. But only five months later the Sister McTavish, 34, was freed on appeal when judges ruled that the jury had been misdirected. Ben Geen’s case is very similar to those of his fellow UK nurse, Colin Norris (also jailed for 30 years).

How did the woman once heralded as “the next Steve Jobs” find herself facing criminal charges — to which she pleaded not guilty — and up to decades in prison?District Judge Michael Wendell quashed the indictment for lack of evidence, and the district attorney’s office chose not to appeal. And here’s the bad news: because of medical collegiality no medic is ever going to speak up about this. She points out that there were five SCBD incidents at Horton General Hospital in December 2002, before Geen worked there, and six in December 2003, when he was working there.

The story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is an unbelievable tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong. It never occurred to anybody on the DA’s staff that the death certificate listed the cause as sepsis—massive infection that led to shock. Lucia’s conviction for serial murder, and even the ‘proof’ that there were any murders at all – let alone by whom – were almost entirely based on wrong statistical data, wrongly analysed, and wrongly interpreted, by amateurs. It's interesting that Baby E was one of the cases the prosecution focused on most heavily in their opening. Wendy argues in her book (An Introduction to Medico-crime) that it is not easier to detect a medico-killer now , since Shipman, but it is much more difficult for an innocent person to defend themselves once accused of medico-murder.In fact, the case of Northumberland GP, Dr David Moor, who openly admitted in the media to killing (sorry, ‘helping to die’) around 300 patients in the media (he wasn’t “caught”) reflects this.

After the largest police investigation in Massachusetts history, handyman Albert DeSalvo confessed and went to prison. Whilst insulin has undoubtedly been a boon to diabetes victims, at one time it had the reputation of being both deadly and undetectable if wrongly used; even today, experts often disagree about whether it has been criminally abused, the much publicised von Bulow prosecutions in the 1980s being one example and the case of Colin Norris being a more recent one.

This then set off a chain of events which involved trawling through medical records to try and find more possible “victims” that could be associated with Ben Geen.
