7. Victorino Chua
In an example of extreme nonchalance, a male Filipino nurse working at the Stepping Hill Hospital was found guilty of tampering with saline drips. He reportedly laced the drips with insulin and put them back in storage, for other nurses to administer.
When administered, the insulin led to rapid, inexplicable low blood sugar which often resulted in the patient dying. When other nurses grew wise to the insulin tampering, Chua changed tactics. He started altering patients prescription charts, sometimes tripling the prescribed dosage.
In May 2015, Chua was found guilty of murdering two patients, poisoning 20 more and was jailed for life.
