Harold Shipman

Harold Shipman was a British doctor who was later found to be a serial killer, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of his patients over several decades. He used his medical license to administer lethal doses of drugs, often under the pretense of treating illnesses, leading to wrongful deaths. His actions were only discovered after concerns were raised, and investigations revealed his extensive crimes. Shipman's case highlighted serious flaws in medical oversight and patient safety, prompting widespread changes in how healthcare professionals are monitored and regulated to prevent similar tragedies.
