4. Dr. Virginia Helena Soares de Souza
In a shocking case of group abuse, Dr. de Souza and seven other health care professionals had been charged with killing patients in Curitiba, Brazil. By administering lethal doses of anesthetics, tampering with the patient’s oxygen supply and even pulling the plug on life support machines, this doctor was constantly trying to free up bed space.
The thought of a doctor who is entrusted with saving lives to be more concerned about creating space is thoroughly disconcerting. At the moment, de Souza is being investigated for the deaths of seven patients in her care.
A wider investigation is also underway, probing the deaths of up to 300 patients at the Evangelical Hospital where she worked with her team.
