Hello and welcome back to Cult Leader. I'm your Cult Leader Spencer Henry. What's up Cult Babes?

I know we didn't have a full episode this week, but you guys know I have been on the road non-stop. I'm in San Francisco right now.

And finally I have a minute to breathe. So I'm going to be recording a full episode for next week.

In the meantime, I thought I would hitch off with a little leader to get you through Friday.

And I just miss you guys. So I'm in SF. I was here for a shoot yesterday and I was so tired.

So today I literally just like relax as much as I could. I did some work and I'm on copy number three.

So I am ready to party and first off we're going to be talking about William Huesel.

You don't know the name because if you're not familiar, he's the doctor from Ohio who is currently being charged with the murder of 25 patients.

25 between 2015 and 2018. Investigators claim that he was ordering prescription doses for these patients between 10 and 40 times the amount deemed medically appropriate.

And we're not talking about like cough syrup here. We're talking about fentanyl which is what killed Michael Jackson, which has just been a very problematic drug in history as far as people dying from it.

My friend Mikey texted me about him yesterday and I told her like my real question is what the fuck is on his face and his mugshot because it looks like his head got caught in a bear trap. I'll post it. You'll see.

So basically here's the 4011. He got fired from the Columbus hospital he was working at back in December.

And of course the way my brain works, I went to the hospital one time in Columbus because I was like having a panic attack.

This was a couple of years ago and I was like a wonder if that was my doctor just because of course I have to make myself involved in everything.

But he wasn't and so he got fired from this hospital back in December and his attorney Richard Blake put out a statement and said I quote,

I think it's important that everybody watching this understand that the patients we're talking about are already end of life patients.

He went on to say they were going to die whether Dr. Hewsel was on or whether another doctor was on.

And this seems fine. That sounds legit. If he wasn't literally overdosing the patients with fentanyl.

I mean come on not to mention some of the family members of the victims that died in Dr. Hewsel's care had now spoken out.

And based on what they're saying, he seems like a dick. One woman whose husband was in a trucking accident said that Dr. Hewsel told her like, oh no.
