A series of attacks and murders ends with strange calls to 911. These calls weren't from the victims or the onlookers, but rather the killer himself. While he was so emotional on these calls he earned the name "the weepy voiced killer", it didn't seem to deter him from continuing his violent streak. That is, until he found someone that would cause his downfall.

Linda Hazzard was a doctor, but not in the traditional sense you've come to expect. She received no degree, but was able to practice through a loophole in the state of Washington. Linda specialized in fasting diets, but again, not in the sense you've heard or expect. Hers was a bit more extreme and led to the deaths of many people.

After years of hard work, Barbara Salisbury worked her way up to head nurse on the geriatric ward. There was just one slight problem... she evidently didn't like working with elderly patients. A string of deaths followed by troublesome comments would land Salisbury in hot water.

We are BACK with a brand new series! Do No Harm will explore doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals who abuse their position of power to inflict harm.


**Apologies for the slight technical snafu on Lindsay's track during this episode - it was better than losing the whole thing!


In this episode, we discuss a Doctor who claimed to lead the resistance in France when occupied by Germany during WW2 by assuring people he could get them to safety. But his motive was way darker.
