No one could
believe the handsome young doctor might be a serial killer.
Wherever he was hired - in Ohio, Illinois, New York, South
Dakota - Michael Swango at first seemed the model physician.
Then his patients
began dying under suspicious circumstances. At once a gripping
read and a hard-hitting look at the inner workings of the
American medical system, Blind Eye describes a professional
hierarchy where doctors repeatedly accept the word of fellow
physicians over that of nurses, hospital employees, and patients
- even as horrible truths begin to emerge.
James B. Stewart
has tracked down survivors, relatives of victims, and shaken
coworkers to unearth the evidence that may finally lead to
Swango's conviction.
Combining
meticulous research with spellbinding prose, Stewart has written
a shocking chronicle of a psychopathic doctor and of the medical
establishment that chose to turn a blind eye on his criminal
activities.
