In this gripping episode, we dissect the disturbing case of Beverly Allitt, the English nurse who became infamously known as the 'Angel of Death.' Using sources like true crime articles, Wikipedia, and recent news, we reveal Allitt's troubling childhood, her sinister actions at Grantham and Kesteven Hospital, and her manipulation and murder of young patients. We'll follow the investigation that led to her conviction, explore her psychological disorders, and discuss ongoing controversies regarding her mental health and incarceration. We'll also shed light on the enduring impact on the victims' families and the broader implications for the healthcare system and society.
