Recently a doctor was convicted in two separate cases of murdering his patients. Three in a Veterans Hospital in New York and one young woman when he was an intern in Ohio State University Hospital.A press release issued by Swangos alma mater, SIU, states, If Swango is legally connected to all the suspicious deaths of patients under his care since he began his residency with Ohio State Universitys medical program in 1983, it would make him the most prolific serial killer in history. The numbers of suspected deaths differ according to various publications, but estimates range from 3560.Following is a story of the alleged intercontinental murder spree of Michael Swango that stretches from 1983 to 1997.But...that is still only a part of the story. Pulitzer Prize winner James B. Stewarts recent book, {Blind Eye The Terrifying Story of a Doctor Who Got Away With Murder}, tirelessly follows Swangos career through interviews with his professional peers and tomes of documentia. He points a finger at the nations hospital administration system as being part of the cause of Swangos ability to elude charges for so long. Nurses and patients alike saw forewarnings, but, according to Stewart, the departmental doctors scoffed and did nothing. As Swango moved from institution to institution, neither personnel nor hiring directors checked his past history, and when they did, they accepted his own testimony over anything incriminating on record.After Swangos arrest, Stewart told the New York Times, His case shows that the medical establishment will blindly trust the word of a fellow doctor over the word of other witnesses, and that the medical profession cannot adequately police itself.That Swango demonstrated a charm and sincerity cannot be denied. Good looking, blonde, blue eyed and affable, openly supportive of his authorities, he was often well liked and appreciated by fellow professionals. He was aware of his charisma and used it to cover his suspicious maneuvers and his chronic lies.
