Summary
Michael Swango, also known as Dr Death, is an American doctor who is believed to be responsible for as many as 60 deaths throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Swango targeted both patients and colleagues in the United States and abroad as he changed jobs, states, and even countries.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Swango and how he was able to get away with his actions for such a long period of time. How did his known past not prevent him from getting job after job? How did the system fail to realize what Swango, who held such a powerful position within society, was doing through the years?
