Check out another mysterious case where a local Reverend, Dwight Moore suffers sudden bursts of unimaginable pain. The Reverend's diagnosis remains a medical mystery and doctors try to save his life before it's too late. Watch the compelling story here: ua-cam.com/video/1IP3LfuaOwU/v-deo.html
I could have said it was poisoning after the first ten minutes and im not a doctor, the fact that it took so long for them to figure this out is astounding and concerning.
@@amybahner6511I agree! I feel that way about stalkers, too. The law "protects" the stalkers while the victims have to be imprisoned in fear for the rest of their lives! The law is way too generous when it comes to stalking. IMO, if you're arrested of stalking, you should not be given a chance to bail out. And there should be a minimum sentence of 5 years without the possibility of parole for first time offenders. If they think they want to keep stalking someone after that, they should get 25 year no parole sentences. If the law was tougher on them, they'd, hopefully, think twice about their behavior.
I hope for the remaining daughter's sake, he can hold his emotions back. Think what this poor child is going through, knowing someone she loves tried to kill her and her dad, and did kill her siblings. It got to be so confusing and heartbreaking for her.
I think, by now, that daughter would be 38/39 years old. Also, this doctor passed away in August of this year, at 68 years of age. The hospital has declined to comment. His ex wife in in prison.
It happed the same with m'y Mother in the hospital (Fondation Rive Neuve) in Blonay, Switzerland : Hydrmorphone + Temesta + Buscopan . Until she dies. While I though they where taking care of her
Nobody, but In the Lord do I put my trust. The one who made you and gave his life for you, so that you can live with him after life. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
When Dr Farrar was admitted to the emergency department for the first time with violent stomach pain,I already suspected that his wife was poisoning him. I watched the full episode and I was right. So sad for the family. I hope Dr Farrar and his daughter can find peace and happiness and overcome this terrible ordeal, I know it’s not easy. RIP to the 2 children 🙏🙏🙏
She was not content with looking after their children, since it meant giving up her career as MD. Causing his severe illness set her up in the position of entering the hospital environment - alongside him - where she could become part of a medical team.
@@maricamaas2326 Thing is there are so many possibilities of employment for MD. Even shirt term, part time,no patience contact, weight loss clinics,spas etc. Such for nurses too. Didn't make sense unless he forbid work. Then why divorce. That part I didn't get. For she would need to go to work of some kind. And to keep registration as a MD she would need to some hours in an MD capacity. In my state anyways.
What a horrible Woman¡!!! She is a complete Monster. She makes her husband suffer excrutiating pain and sickness over and over. She burns her own children to death. What kind of Monster does that? Really sad story. It is very sad about the children. 🥀🥀 I am glad the Dr. recovered. I hope the Murdering psycho rots in prison!!!!
I just looked this up. He apparently died August of this year. But it does not say if the cause of death. The family withheld that from what I read. So unfortunate.
About 10 years ago I just very suddenly began having explosive diarrhea. I was working all day and just fine. Suddenly, the stomach bent me double. I could barely walk. The pain continued, the diarrhea continued. I was literally on the bathroom floor because I could walk to my bed and back to the bathroom. My mom took me to the emergency room. They gave me pain meds. They released me and before we could pull back into our driveway, I was bent double again. Back to the emergency room we went. Another shot of morphine. I know the doctor thought I was overreacting. Once again, before we could make it home, I was bent double. The doctors kept asking if I was passing any blood. I wasn’t. Then, on another bathroom trip… there was the blood…. Lots of blood…. Nothing but blood. The doctors now knew it was something serious. They admitted me. They had IV drips going and regular morphine. Soon, the morphine wasn’t enough. The doctors ran test after test, but couldn’t find the cause. In the meantime, I was passing nothing but blood throughout the day and night. I was growing so weak that I couldn’t walk. The doctors upped my morphine, but the bloody diarrhea continued. I couldn’t imagine how I could live while passing so much blood. Two days passed and they had put me through every test they had. I remember my 7 year old son coming to visit me and he told me he was having stomach pains, but I just couldn’t believe he could have whatever it was that I had. While visiting me he rushed into the bathroom. I was struggling to get out of bed to go help him. I had unhooked my lines and was hanging onto my bed as I made my way toward him. I was bent double with pain, but I had to get to him. When I finally got to the bathroom, he said,”Mommy, I am sick like you.” I nearly lost it when I saw the blood in the commode. I helped him with his clothing and stood there hugging him. I was so afraid for him. How could a little boy survive this type of illness. We made our way back to my bed. I helped him in and I climbed in beside him and rang for the nurse. The nurse was really mad at me for putting him in my bed. I told her what was happening and she made a hateful remark. From my bed phone I called his pediatrician. Within 30 minutes another nurse had us both in wheelchairs and wheeling us into the emergency room. They put the IV in and gave him morphine to ease the pain and started fluids. The diarrhea was just like mine. The attending doctor was baffled and very concerned. I had been wasting away for 3 days. My doctor was scheduling an exploratory surgery. Now, my little boy presented with the same symptoms. They eventually moved us into a room. It truly was a sad situation. I was so weak that I could barely stand, but I was tending my son. I was helping him to and from the bathroom. We were both passing blood. My son’s blood was a bright red. What was wrong with us. Despite my own pain, my focus was complete on my son. I was terrified. There we were. Both of us in excruciating pain and growing weaker and weaker from blood loss. I called my mother. Within the hour, she and daddy were in our room. Everyone was so afraid. Then the doctor came in with my son’s diagnosis. It was E-coli! E-coli! We couldn’t understand. They had been unable to diagnose me, but now my little boy was sick with the very same thing. I had E-coli and so did my son. My son’s pediatrician wanted to send both of us to the university of Virginia medical hospital. He was so worried for my son. He told us there was NO TREATMENT for E-coli. He explained that this bug was eating the lining out of our stomachs and intestines and it wouldn’t stop until it had completely eaten all of the lining. That was why there was so much pain and so much blood. My heart was breaking to see my little boy in such a painful and life threatening illness. My mother decided to stay with us. I sat beside my son’s bed so that I could help him to and from the bathroom. I knew the pain he was experiencing, but he never cried. He was so brave. All we could do was let the bug run its course and fight for our lives while it ate. There was no treatment. As night fell, I stood on one side of his bed and my mom stood on the other. We began to pray. The doctor had told us it would be days before we would see any change. We just had to stay alive! My mom and I remained in prayer as the hours ticked slowly by. I was begging God for my son’s life. I wasn’t concerned for my own life anymore. I cried and pleaded with God to spare my son. They had brought in one of those chairs that sorta serves as a makeshift bed for my mom. It was a horribly uncomfortable thing, but mom was just as worried for my little boy and sleeping wasn’t really an option, but I encouraged my mom to try to get some sleep. In between running to the bathroom, I would continue praying. I was sobbing as I begged for my son’s life. I don’t remember falling asleep, but somewhere around 4am, I must have drifted off. The next thing, I felt my son’s had in my hair. “Mommy, can I have something to drink?” I was shocked to see that he was sitting up. I quickly got up to take care of him. I asked how he was feeling. He said he had no pain and he had stopped running to the toilet. “I’m hungry mom.” What was this? I felt his forehead and could detect no fever. He told me he wasn’t hurting anymore. I rang for the nurse . She was just as shocked to see him sitting up and asking for breakfast and a drink. It was amazing. He was showing no signs of being I’ll and surprisingly, neither was I. The nurse went to call the doctor who unbeknownst to us, had slept the night in the hospital just to be near my son. He came in and could hardly believe what he was seeing. He checked us both over and against all odds, we seemed to be well! The doctor was truly shocked. He said he had no explanation for what was happening. He did order breakfast for my son and told us he’d be back in a couple of hours. True to hi word, he was soon back in our room checking us. The doctor looked at me and asked, “ What’s going on her, mom?” You both have E-coli and you had the deadliest strain. There is no explanation for why you both now have no symptoms. What did you do? I prayed a mother’s prayer! They kept us two more days just to be sure we were on the mend and then released us. It took me 3 weeks to regain my strength. I had lost so much blood. On the other hand, it was if my son had never been ill at all. God truly had answered my prayers. My son’s doctor told us that he knew my son might die, but he was so full of energy. It was if he had never been sick. God still works miracles. You only need to believe.
you had me hooked on this story beginning to end. i am so sorry you two went through that pain. i was so relieved to hear your son woke up hungry and feeling better !!! god bless you both
I have heard the story. It was on medical murders. She put some castor beans in his food.... all because he wanted a divorce. His children missed out because two died and one survived. I think she should have gotten the death penalty for killing both of the children.
Justice boils down to what state you live in. The victim's family should decide the penalty, not some bleeding heart liberal judge. If the governor doesn't believe in the death penalty but the victim's family does, too bad.
You can see cases just like this watching "Forensic Files." I guessed it after his 2nd visit to the hospital. I didn't know this video series was about murder.
@@angelagendreau3586Problem is that even like in a kidnapping and a long time living with the kidnapper some victims don't want to press charges for one reason or another. Same in different crime senerios. But that State or the Judge really need to change their laws. She should of got life with no parole or death penalty.
I don't care if I have 100% proof. If I think something is wrong or could go very wrong I'm calling in experts to help me. Better safe than dead.@@elenadonets5325
Police are no help I called the fbi once send a tip to them they never responded and then I got yelled at for swearing on the fbi tip line and the woman was so rude and then the police didn’t even believe thought I was crazy and just didn’t listen to anything I said and the attack happened to me two times at the hospital and ambulance but I had no proof so
Watching this is the equivalent to watching a clip of a slow moving train chugging towards you and instead of getting out of the way you just scream nooooooo until it finally hits you
I don't understand why he would leave his kids with someone he thought was poisoning him. I'm not saying it was his fault. I'm saying I don't understand his behavior
The husband is a bit fishy, he actually met a new woman during the vacation, was unfaithful, asked for a divorce and then got his wife committed to a mental health facility...
I live in Johnson County Kansas where this happened and it still haunts me to this day when I think of those children being murdered by their own 😢mother. The daughter that “survived” was at the time starring as “Clara” in Kansas City’s prestigious “Nutcracker” at the downtown Midland Theatre. Deborah can now be seen running the library in Topeka Department of Corrections and is visited by one young woman presumably the only child. A horrible memory still for all who experienced.
I'm also from this area. Even more sad is the fact that the surviving daughter blamed her father and had very little contact with him for the rest of his life (he died in 2023.) Ann Rule wrote a book about this crime. Deborah Green is the wife's name. The name of the book is "Bitter Harvest" - might be able to find it in your local library. This happened many years ago. Deborah Green has tried to get paroled at least once that I am aware of.
If my doctor was sickly looking, I'd pitch a fit. I once saw a food worker complain about being sick and the manager witch at her and I had a fit, I went full Karen and said in no way should they be making food. The manager just wanted them to keep going. The restaurant made the excuse she had diabetes but the lady was sickly and she voiced wanting to go home.
Yeah, that's cruel and unusual punishment IMO. If the restaurant cares so much more about money than their employees, then just wait for the lawsuits to start piling in after customers start getting sick from the employees. And if the employee has diabetes, that's almost more concerning. She could have ended up in a hospital...or worse! Stupid company. I used to work in a grocery store as a checker, and there was a day that it was so busy they didn't want to let anyone take a break! We were forced to work through our breaks and lunches! I had to go to the bathroom and couldn't. I desperately needed a drink: I'd gotten so dehydrated! I contacted an attorney afterwards to see if what they were doing was illegal. I was told yes, but it would cost a lot of money to take them to court. So unfortunately I felt like I couldn't do anything about it other than quit, which I eventually did.
How could anyone especially a mother and a wife be so evil. I know a spouse can attempt or actually kill their spouse, but to kill two of your own children is the most vile. As a Paramedic I have seen these horrible disgusting tragedies. Yet I will never be able to wrap my head around such evilness. I pray she never gets out of prison, even when her 40 years has been served. More importantly I pray he and his daughter are able to live their lives as best as they can. Bless them both. 🙏🙏❤🇺🇸🚑
I can. I don't think anyone wants to consider that someone they thought loved them would consider doing anything like that to them regardless of their profession. I can't imagine the emotional trauma they'd have to endure on top of the physical trauma - if they are lucky enough to survive.
Right? The second time pt came back after being discharged and getting violently ill at home, you'd think they would test for poisons with GI symptoms. And begin to suspect wife. Also, anyone else think it was fishy that wife waited until morning to take pt to ER the first time, given his extreme symptoms?
This is the norm unfortunately, and it's completely unacceptable. My Dad was poisoned by his new wife of 7 months (33 years younger), and died about 5 months ago. She is stealing my inheritance and our family home. The Police won't even investigate.
So what is your first clue he was poisoned? What tests would you order? Remember, if you order too many tests people complain and if you don’t order the correct tests people complain. So, you must know what’s wrong to order the correct test. So you order a heavy metal test and it’s negative, then what? Go ahead, tell us what test you order next since you’re so sure what’s wrong with this patient. You can see how difficult it is in diagnosing someone with a multitude of symptoms.
@@allahlovesyou7241 - I know it because: 1) She literally moved into my Dad's house after their first date, moved in her dog, and put up security cameras. She then tried to alienate me from my father and get him to cut me off financially. He was helping me out because I have health issues. 2) She treated me with a cold indifference and almost disrespect from the first time I met her, -even though I was very kind to her, bought her dog a dog bed because, gave her a large LCD TV, etc. 3) After they were married, he became increasingly sicker and sicker. 4) When it became a Medical Emergency, she called an Uber instead of 911, and delayed his medical treatment. She then didn't call me for 2+ days until it was too late, and neither did the hospital (despite me being the Power of Attorney caregiver on his "Advance Health Care Directive". 5) She then had his body cremated (thus sucessfully destroying the evidence) despite my insistance that I wanted to preserve the body and bury him, and conduct an Autopsy and Forensic Toxicology testing . 6) Ever since his death, she has been plotting against me, tying up "loose ends", going over my Father's Financial Documents, cutting me off financially, stealing from us, filing Life Insurance claims, preventing me from going to our family home to retrieve our family possessions, etc. She has stolen everything and violated the terms of my Father's Living Trust. There is so much more circumstantial evidence I can't even list it all.
MY MOTHER WAS POISONED I STILL..TO THIS DAY"" WANT TO EXSUME"" HER BODY.. SO THEY CAN...TEST..THE BONES"" RAT POSION , SHOWS UP IN THE MARROW""OF THE BONES
What an awesome doctor looking out for others by going to work and possibly infecting, not just his colleagues, but sick and fragile patients too! Good job, doc!
Toxic hospital culture is more to blame than he is. The hospital where I work doesn't give employees sick days so if you don't have PTO, you're going to work or getting fired
@@Madamchief but aren't you to save some pto? My work went to this model of just pto but we still have 5 days at our disposal, now we just can use it for mental health days or spa days if we don't get sick often.
@@Madamchief We get 20 days vs 15 with 7 sick days before, plus 4 floating days and a week off for xmas. We work from home(most, the people who don't are choosing not to) as well so you can in theory work while having a cold or something instead of taking off but if I feel bad I still take off because I want to give my best.
It is an unfortunate reality that when it comes to children, men are treated like second class citizens. If he had taken the children with him it is highly likely she would have called the cops on and gotten him into trouble with the law. It's also likely that she would have killed herself or staged her own death to cause him harm. I'd lay good odds that the kid that made it out was her favorite. The other two were ties to her husband that she wanted dead so they and the house had to go.
Ooh am even crying as I watch this helpless Doctor.A savior,A healer, a friend of hopeless was sick. Oh My God I can't hold back my tears.L just love Doctors and Nurses very much 🙏🙏💕💕
And especially when spouse's behavior was so erratic as to require four days of psychiatric hospitalization! Husband leaves the kids with her? What???!!!
Because he wasn't even entirely sure... What type of evil monster would do this? He even said " I'm confident she wouldn't harm the children" which is a valid thought. Especially before all these true crime podcast came out because this happened In 1995
From watching true crime shows and medical shows (like this one), I often see a poisoner will only go after one person (unless they have a Dr Death complex). In this case it was the husband and not the kids. At the time she showed no harm towards the kids. Yes I know there are cases where mum have killed their kids to get back at the spouse, but in this case that doesn't seem to be the case. While she was away and he was doing his research, there was no signs that the children were in danger until he moved out and she set the house on fire. He has had to live with the fact that he couldn't protect his kids and even though she was becoming unhinged, it was towards him and not the kids.
He was able to diagnose himself because he was the only person who had all the pieces of the puzzle. Not telling the medical people treating him about the pending divorce and later the police about the castor beans he found allowed her twisted mind to keep plotting. When admitting someone to hospital, we usually ask marital status and if a patient feels "safe" in their home. A similar situation happened at the hospital I worked at, a doctor got angry at his fiance and starting poisoning her coffee. Because she was a nurse working in the same department, he was able to slip her doses both at home and at work.
How did she find out? Did she no it was him straight away? Is she okay now I do hope so this has opened my eyes to what some folks are really like there is some evil people in this world God help us all.
😮😢Poor man 🙏 He must miss his children tremendeously..... No one deserves the nightmare he went through ... He will never trust no one🌹 as for that evil woman, 40 years to think of the lives she destroyed and killed.
After his second trip back home and then his third trip back to the hospital I thought this sounds like a poisoning to me... it's happening right after he eats. But I'm thinking the title of the video mentions it being a virus though so this is weird. but it turns out I was right. But what shocked me the most was the fire that killed two of his children I could not believe that happened. my jaw dropped immediately when I heard that. For her to only get 40 years is a crime itself. there should be no chance that she ever be released back on the street
After decades of spousal poisonings, you'd think hospitals would test for that if a person gets better in a hospital then returns sick after spending time at home. Also, you'd think they wouldn't allow spouses (or anyone) to bring outside food into the hospital for patients. I'm referring to other episodes I've seen where spouses would bring in a "favorite food" to "help" their spouse "get better." Ridiculous!
I was curious to know what he was up to now as this was so long ago. Sadly, Dr. Farrar passed away in August of this year, 2023. It appears he remarried. And his sole surviving daughter is also married with a daughter whom he loved.
Sadly , He has passed in August of last year, I have read that they are doing a investigation in his death. I'm wondering do that suspect that he was murdered? The family and friends have no comments at this time.
With the severity of those symptoms, i would have wondered about ebola, or some other weird tropical disease. He should NOT have gone to work, or anywhere near ANYONE.
When i first saw this story about his stomach complaint and they couldn't find a cause, i amediently had an inkling it was something to do with his wife, its so sad that he also lost his inocent children this way. Never the less i hope he has recovered some how and can find some peace thanks for sharing your story my prayers are with you God bless you.
Their 2 kids not surviving the fire makes it totally unforgiveable. He should have separated the kids from wife the moment he suspected the poisoning. So sad.
His suffering was tremendous, but I am glad he found the real reason of his illness. Poor kids who vanished in house fire set up by their own mother. 😢
Can people stop blaming Mike? He wanted to get out of the situation so she wouldn’t lash out at him or have access to his food. You could just as easily blame her psychologist who concluded she just had a chemical imbalance and just needed to take a few pills and rest and she’d be fine. He didn’t notice signs she was going to attempt quadruple homicide and he was more qualified than Mike
With a repeat mystery illness, everyone should consider their spouse as a possible suspect in poisoning them, even if they truly are the nicest person. It’s just one more thing to rule out on your checklist.✔️
Thank God he was a known doctor, the rest of us would be called drug seekers or “anxiety” and treated with PPI’s and sent home. Went to ER, couldn’t hardly walk, vomiting, diarrhea, severe pain, lost 30+ lbs in 2 months, dehydrated, and the ER doctor said…cmon stomach pain isn’t that bad, gave me a “cocktail” and sent me home. Ended up have 3 ulcers, HPylori, and a damaged LES valve. I also quit nursing. Sorry, I’m not minimizing this man’s condition nor comparing, honestly just saying thank God he had “family” in the hospital.
How freaking sad. You think you know someone and boom, they are a slow killer If you have any feelings for someone, not loving necessarily, but just care for people in general, to see them suffering and almost dying multiple times, it would affect you. She is pure evil and cold. And killing her kids???? That’s just insanity at its best. God bless their hearts. Keep that woman behind bars. She doesn’t deserve a life of freedom. Prayers to all involved and especially the victims. Sigh!!!
You should never think that about doctors, or anyone who makes a high salary. Lots of doctors are narcissists. I've watched many crime shows with murdering doctors, and they were all quite sane.
I had diarrhea, vomiting , couldn’t keep water down I was on the floor curled in a fetal position 10 months later I had a diagnosis after I seen the gasterestronal. It was called h. Palorie. It attacks the stomach can eat the lining of the stomach and cause ulcers. I thought I was going to die. I was on 16 antibiotics per day for 3 weeks. I couldn’t move, I fainted, I lost a ton of weight. Etc. you can get really sick from travelling.
Yes but H.P. Isn’t just a traveling disease, u can get it here in US. I say this because my 12 yr old niece was just diagnosed with this and she hasn’t ever even traveled out of the state. The furthest she’s travelled is 2 hrs from one city to another. She lives with her grandmother who by the way is ocd on cleanliness and they very rarely eat out as they can’t afford it. When they do they usually order fast food, such as pizza, burgers, Taco Bell, Starbucks, the usual. Doctors always want to assume one picks up something from other countries but no. Just recently my 72 yr old mother was also diagnosed with this, she also hadn’t traveled recently, lives at home alone and her hobby is to clean her house I’m not exaggerating. Usually illnesses we get are from our surroundings at home.
Gosh how awful; do you know if there is any kind of prevention strategy; such as monitory what we eat... glad you recovered but what a frightful experience.
😢Traveling is overrated. I know of a young man that caught a bug in India, came home, wasted away, they could do nothing for him, dead at 29. Watch travel videos, save tons of money, maybe your life.
I knew it was the wife poisoning him. These doctors need to start checking for poisoning when their are bad stomach issues like his. I saw another story about a man who had similar symptoms and the doctors didn't check for poisoning and it turned out he was being poisoned by someone he worked with. Never underestimate what people are capable of. Check all avenues. This doctor is lucky he survived this.
@@laurielaurie8280 I watched too much of this type of crime here on YT that's why I knew beforehand that it is poisoning (by a loved one!?). So it's a No-brainer.
I love these episodes! But this one really shook me to my core!!! I am in and out of the hospital for many years now and for many health problems. I have NEVER been treated like this doctor was!!!!!!! It is a shame that normal people get tossed aside while the people with doctrines or badges are given the VIP treatment!!!!!!! It is a shame!!!!!!! It is unfair!!!!!!! It is unjust!!!!!!! IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR HOW MUCH YOU MAKE, EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME, AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF CARE!!!!!
As a mom, who also sacrificed my career for 12 years for my children's sake to become a stay home mom those years, I've learned to trust NO ONE, I mean I would even trust my husband many times (after reading so many cases of sexual assaults) and so, I would have never, ever left and leave my children alone with my spouse specifically knowing he has been poisoning me. I am sure he regrets that decision for the rest of his life. 😢 Evil woman.
I get the feeling that if they had had a proper discussion about her giving up work completely, allowing her a proper choice and to be able to return to work if that was HER CHOICE, then she would not have felt and acted that way. In fact, they could both have worked reduced hours and shared looking after young children when they're not in school and been in a happier and healthier relationship.
@@AdrielScott-8588. 68 years old. Ricin poisoning can have lasting effects as it attacks vital organs. His heart was already weakened. Median age for death in the US is 74.8 yrs.
I really don’t know how people intelligent enough to be specialist doctors can be so emotionally stupid not to realise that there is a snake in their house - and then to actually confront his wife about the castor beans rather than going straight to the police! The police may not have been as useless as he seems to assume! He is way too nice a guy for his own good!
You are so right! Doc seems slow on the uptake, to the point that I wouldn't want him as a disgnostician. Also, they've likely had hoses down his throat and up his a$$ from the get-go, but he withholds the fact of his divorce because it's too "personal"???
I had diarrhea for a month straight, day and night, during 2020. In fact, it was June, because it’s my birthday month. On my birthday I had to go to the ER because the stomach pain was so bad. They couldn’t find anything nor alleviate my symptoms. No test could identify what it was. From what I hear, gastro symptoms were present in certain strains of Covid. I have no idea what it was, but I’m glad it’s over and not a chronic disease.
Is anyone else a little concerned that a very sick doctor won't go home!? Not very reassuring that a doctor in a hospital doesn't take his own advice to not expose vulnerable people to the illness....😮
In 2006, i got sick like that while in Vegas, i stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks, slipping in and out of consciousness, and my partner kept my fluids up. The entire two weeks, i was constantly throwing up and diarrhoea, hallucinations, hot, then freezing cold. We had to leave, i was still ill but a little better for 2 more weeks in LA. Then, I had to fly home to Australia. It's the sickest I've ever been in my life and never saw a doctor. (I still dont know why i didnt call a doctor...) I lost 25kg in the 6 weeks. It was a silver lining.
I watch to many of these crime documentaries because as soon as he got sick after going home I thought he was being poisoned and when he was packing up for divorce my first thought was you better not leave the kids with her.
This is the second video I've watched in 2 days where a man went into the hospital with the same symptoms in the hospital could not figure out what's wrong with him. Both times the patient is the one that diagnosed and told the doctors what he thought was wrong with him. This should be something that's told in medical school. When people have symptoms like this they should directly check for poisoning in the blood system . The other video I watched she used arsenic😮
My uncle was a surgeon, also a missionary. He went to Africa and got malaria. He couldn't be a surgeon anymore afterwards. He just took more schooling to become psychologist. Dr. Lawrence Banta, Caldwell, Idaho.
This true story is horrible. It's like the move sleeping with the enemy really heartbreaking. This horrible story will remain in this Doctor heart and mind forever. 😮😮😮
I work in Health care as well, and if we get sick it better be death bed sick unless you can convince someone to cover for you. Its a tough gig, who knows what pressures were put on him. I do agree its stupid he went in, though, since it sounds like he was just being stubborn even though he was probably advised to go home by his coworkers. Going for years without missing a day and not wanting to break that record is no excuse for putting others inabsolute danger!
Running a fever, but due to his proud work ethic, exposing already ill and vulnerable patients to a possible illness takes a back seat. People put too much emphasis on never missing work, they spread serious viruses rather than appear weak. I pray Corona Virus has woken people up. A Dr should know better, but it's so ingrained in our society even they make note of it.
He is blessed to have physicians for friends & love ones, eager to solve the mystery! So many aren’t that lucky, let alone have health insurance to cover such a medical mystery…
Ann Rule wrote a book about this story. I believe its called Bitter Harvest. Debra told her son over the homes intercom to stay in his room and wait to be rescued. The youngest daughter was found still in bed. The book goes into much more detail about how they prsented the evidence in court that she did this to her family. So sad. I'm glad the doctor and his oldest daughter survived her wrath.
To be so out of control that you would set fire to your house with your children in it is beyond the pale…what did they say they wanted to go live with Daddy? Or did she simply lose her mind because of hate. So, so terrible. MsS
Too bad a good homicide detective as well as a forensic pathologist were not made aware of the coincidences of the "mysterious illnesses" recurring immediately after Dr, Farrar returned home each time.
I'm only 2 minutes in, and I am shocked!! Both HE and HIS WIFE are Medical Doctors ... He gets violently sick out of the blue, and not only do they not immediately get him to the hospital, but he goes to work the next day as if nothing happened?? I can't wait to see what happens next!

That was the Blanch Taylor Moore case, happened in North Carolina. She had killed at least one other husband before she got to Mr. Moore.
If they did not know what was wrong then he should have been quarantined
He thinks it's a flu, but stays at work, potentially giving it to everyone. I understand uneducated or young adults doing this.
I could have said it was poisoning after the first ten minutes and im not a doctor, the fact that it took so long for them to figure this out is astounding and concerning.

Poisoning was one thought. I also wondered if he'd somehow been exposed to ebola or something.

I agree like I knew pretty much right away.
Same here! A minute in, I was shouting at the TV, "Your wife is poisoning you! Hello?! YOUR WIFE, DUDE!!!!"
I'm so sorry for the tragic loss of his children. 😔💔
She got 40yrs minimum. And she’s still in prison today! I don’t think she’ll ever get out. One can hope.
She don’t need to…. That’s so evil
Yes she is pure evil. She needs to rot in prison!!
40 years not long enough.

How very sad. This woman should have gotten life without parole
Death sentence.....these things would cease to happen among us if laws and punishment fit crimes.
Only 40yrs don’t understand.
@@amybahner6511I agree! I feel that way about stalkers, too. The law "protects" the stalkers while the victims have to be imprisoned in fear for the rest of their lives! The law is way too generous when it comes to stalking. IMO, if you're arrested of stalking, you should not be given a chance to bail out. And there should be a minimum sentence of 5 years without the possibility of parole for first time offenders. If they think they want to keep stalking someone after that, they should get 25 year no parole sentences. If the law was tougher on them, they'd, hopefully, think twice about their behavior.
She is mentally ill and he knew it

I hope for the remaining daughter's sake, he can hold his emotions back. Think what this poor child is going through, knowing someone she loves tried to kill her and her dad, and did kill her siblings. It got to be so confusing and heartbreaking for her.

You missed the part where they said that the virus they believed he had was not contagious
I know 😂😂
Incredibly clever for a doctor. 😂
It’s not contagious otherwise the whole family are sick by the time he went to the hospital
They were initially looking for a parasites because he had been in Peru. Yes his entire family would have been ill if it were viral.
Who can we trust these days?
So happy for Mike he was able to diagnose his own symptoms and survived this horrid ordeal of his wife.

And she only got 40 years for this??????
She’s mental for her to try to kill her hubby but then actually killed her children, she should be in da mental hospital

😮😢
That’s tragic and he was so young too
Poor guy sometimes bad things or people just follow you around
@Drobalar-Drsebiherpes and poisoning are not the same. Take an antiviral and more on. If you say your a doctor you should know this.
Rip. What was his age? ❤❤
When Dr Farrar was admitted to the emergency department for the first time with violent stomach pain,I already suspected that his wife was poisoning him. I watched the full episode and I was right. So sad for the family. I hope Dr Farrar and his daughter can find peace and happiness and overcome this terrible ordeal, I know it’s not easy. RIP to the 2 children 🙏🙏🙏
I knew it too. Very sick mind.
She was not content with looking after their children, since it meant giving up her career as MD. Causing his severe illness set her up in the position of entering the hospital environment - alongside him - where she could become part of a medical team.
This is an ANN RULE True crime book, awesome, I've read it. - a lot more information in it.
Dr. Farrarr recently passed away.
@@maricamaas2326 Thing is there are so many possibilities of employment for MD. Even shirt term, part time,no patience contact, weight loss clinics,spas etc. Such for nurses too. Didn't make sense unless he forbid work. Then why divorce. That part I didn't get. For she would need to go to work of some kind. And to keep registration as a MD she would need to some hours in an MD capacity. In my state anyways.
What a horrible Woman¡!!! She is a complete Monster. She makes her husband suffer excrutiating pain and sickness over and over. She burns her own children to death. What kind of Monster does that? Really sad story. It is very sad about the children. 🥀🥀

I wonder if the wife played the mental illness card to avoid life without parole
A psychopath
Dr farrar died last year! R.I.P. Dr. Farrar 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just looked this up. He apparently died August of this year. But it does not say if the cause of death. The family withheld that from what I read. So unfortunate.
About 10 years ago I just very suddenly began having explosive diarrhea. I was working all day and just fine. Suddenly, the stomach bent me double. I could barely walk. The pain continued, the diarrhea continued. I was literally on the bathroom floor because I could walk to my bed and back to the bathroom.
My mom took me to the emergency room. They gave me pain meds. They released me and before we could pull back into our driveway, I was bent double again. Back to the emergency room we went. Another shot of morphine. I know the doctor thought I was overreacting. Once again, before we could make it home, I was bent double.
The doctors kept asking if I was passing any blood. I wasn’t. Then, on another bathroom trip… there was the blood…. Lots of blood…. Nothing but blood.
The doctors now knew it was something serious. They admitted me. They had IV drips going and regular morphine. Soon, the morphine wasn’t enough. The doctors ran test after test, but couldn’t find the cause. In the meantime, I was passing nothing but blood throughout the day and night. I was growing so weak that I couldn’t walk. The doctors upped my morphine, but the bloody diarrhea continued. I couldn’t imagine how I could live while passing so much blood.
Two days passed and they had put me through every test they had. I remember my 7 year old son coming to visit me and he told me he was having stomach pains, but I just couldn’t believe he could have whatever it was that I had. While visiting me he rushed into the bathroom. I was struggling to get out of bed to go help him. I had unhooked my lines and was hanging onto my bed as I made my way toward him. I was bent double with pain, but I had to get to him. When I finally got to the bathroom, he said,”Mommy, I am sick like you.” I nearly lost it when I saw the blood in the commode. I helped him with his clothing and stood there hugging him. I was so afraid for him. How could a little boy survive this type of illness. We made our way back to my bed. I helped him in and I climbed in beside him and rang for the nurse.
The nurse was really mad at me for putting him in my bed. I told her what was happening and she made a hateful remark. From my bed phone I called his pediatrician. Within 30 minutes another nurse had us both in wheelchairs and wheeling us into the emergency room. They put the IV in and gave him morphine to ease the pain and started fluids. The diarrhea was just like mine. The attending doctor was baffled and very concerned. I had been wasting away for 3 days. My doctor was scheduling an exploratory surgery. Now, my little boy presented with the same symptoms.
They eventually moved us into a room. It truly was a sad situation. I was so weak that I could barely stand, but I was tending my son. I was helping him to and from the bathroom. We were both passing blood. My son’s blood was a bright red. What was wrong with us. Despite my own pain, my focus was complete on my son. I was terrified.
There we were. Both of us in excruciating pain and growing weaker and weaker from blood loss. I called my mother. Within the hour, she and daddy were in our room. Everyone was so afraid. Then the doctor came in with my son’s diagnosis. It was E-coli! E-coli! We couldn’t understand. They had been unable to diagnose me, but now my little boy was sick with the very same thing. I had E-coli and so did my son. My son’s pediatrician wanted to send both of us to the university of Virginia medical hospital. He was so worried for my son. He told us there was NO TREATMENT for E-coli. He explained that this bug was eating the lining out of our stomachs and intestines and it wouldn’t stop until it had completely eaten all of the lining. That was why there was so much pain and so much blood.
My heart was breaking to see my little boy in such a painful and life threatening illness. My mother decided to stay with us. I sat beside my son’s bed so that I could help him to and from the bathroom. I knew the pain he was experiencing, but he never cried. He was so brave. All we could do was let the bug run its course and fight for our lives while it ate. There was no treatment. As night fell, I stood on one side of his bed and my mom stood on the other. We began to pray. The doctor had told us it would be days before we would see any change. We just had to stay alive! My mom and I remained in prayer as the hours ticked slowly by. I was begging God for my son’s life. I wasn’t concerned for my own life anymore. I cried and pleaded with God to spare my son.
They had brought in one of those chairs that sorta serves as a makeshift bed for my mom. It was a horribly uncomfortable thing, but mom was just as worried for my little boy and sleeping wasn’t really an option, but I encouraged my mom to try to get some sleep. In between running to the bathroom, I would continue praying. I was sobbing as I begged for my son’s life.
I don’t remember falling asleep, but somewhere around 4am, I must have drifted off. The next thing, I felt my son’s had in my hair. “Mommy, can I have something to drink?” I was shocked to see that he was sitting up. I quickly got up to take care of him. I asked how he was feeling. He said he had no pain and he had stopped running to the toilet. “I’m hungry mom.” What was this? I felt his forehead and could detect no fever. He told me he wasn’t hurting anymore. I rang for the nurse . She was just as shocked to see him sitting up and asking for breakfast and a drink. It was amazing. He was showing no signs of being I’ll and surprisingly, neither was I. The nurse went to call the doctor who unbeknownst to us, had slept the night in the hospital just to be near my son. He came in and could hardly believe what he was seeing. He checked us both over and against all odds, we seemed to be well! The doctor was truly shocked. He said he had no explanation for what was happening. He did order breakfast for my son and told us he’d be back in a couple of hours. True to hi word, he was soon back in our room checking us. The doctor looked at me and asked, “ What’s going on her, mom?” You both have E-coli and you had the deadliest strain. There is no explanation for why you both now have no symptoms. What did you do? I prayed a mother’s prayer!
They kept us two more days just to be sure we were on the mend and then released us. It took me 3 weeks to regain my strength. I had lost so much blood. On the other hand, it was if my son had never been ill at all. God truly had answered my prayers. My son’s doctor told us that he knew my son might die, but he was so full of energy. It was if he had never been sick.
God still works miracles. You only need to believe.
God is able
you had me hooked on this story beginning to end. i am so sorry you two went through that pain. i was so relieved to hear your son woke up hungry and feeling better !!! god bless you both
Merry christmas ❤
Amen
Do you ever find out how you came in contact with it?
I have heard the story. It was on medical murders. She put some castor beans in his food.... all because he wanted a divorce. His children missed out because two died and one survived. I think she should have gotten the death penalty for killing both of the children.
Justice boils down to what state you live in. The victim's family should decide the penalty, not some bleeding heart liberal judge. If the governor doesn't believe in the death penalty but the victim's family does, too bad.
You can see cases just like this watching "Forensic Files." I guessed it after his 2nd visit to the hospital.
I didn't know this video series was about murder.
@@angelagendreau3586Problem is that even like in a kidnapping and a long time living with the kidnapper some victims don't want to press charges for one reason or another. Same in different crime senerios. But that State or the Judge really need to change their laws. She should of got life with no parole or death penalty.
God, and ricin poisoning is about the most horrible way to die as well.
It's an ANN RULE True crime book, and the man had 80,000 bottles of wine (collection) in the basement, and it wasn't damaged.
Wow 😢 That is such a heartbreaking experience to have lived through, so glad he did survive to tell the truth.
He should have called police AS SOON as he found the beans and meds! The death of his kids could have been prevented.
It is difficult to predict how psycho people will behave and he didn’t have 100 proof
I don't care if I have 100% proof. If I think something is wrong or could go very wrong I'm calling in experts to help me. Better safe than dead.@@elenadonets5325
Police are no help I called the fbi once send a tip to them they never responded and then I got yelled at for swearing on the fbi tip line and the woman was so rude and then the police didn’t even believe thought I was crazy and just didn’t listen to anything I said and the attack happened to me two times at the hospital and ambulance but I had no proof so
It's not illegal to have caster beans and he had no proof it was her.
Potassium Chloride is also not illegal, even for a non medical person. Anyone can buy it
My heart goes out to Dr Mike Farrar.
Watching this is the equivalent to watching a clip of a slow moving train chugging towards you and instead of getting out of the way you just scream nooooooo until it finally hits you
😂😂😂😂
made zero sense.
You should see when it happens to you in real life at a hospital around nurses and doctors who just watch and stare
I don't understand why he would leave his kids with someone he thought was poisoning him. I'm not saying it was his fault. I'm saying I don't understand his behavior
The husband is a bit fishy, he actually met a new woman during the vacation, was unfaithful, asked for a divorce and then got his wife committed to a mental health facility...
He knew she was dangerous and left his children behind. I'm glad he survived, but sad that the children didn't. Some momsters don't deserve children.
It is possible that he thought that she was punishing him for the divorce and would leave the children out of it
poor kids... !
I’m sure he didn’t think she would ever harm the children. He, himself, didn’t think any thing of the castor beans.
but he was vaccinated 😏
His wife must be reported to the police authorities of what she’d done to her husband - poisoning - Castor Beans
12-29-2023
I live in Johnson County Kansas where this happened and it still haunts me to this day when I think of those children being murdered by their own 😢mother. The daughter that “survived” was at the time starring as “Clara” in Kansas City’s prestigious “Nutcracker” at the downtown Midland Theatre. Deborah can now be seen running the library in Topeka Department of Corrections and is visited by one young woman presumably the only child. A horrible memory still for all who experienced.
Wow how horrifying & tragic 🥺
I'm also from this area. Even more sad is the fact that the surviving daughter blamed her father and had very little contact with him for the rest of his life (he died in 2023.) Ann Rule wrote a book about this crime. Deborah Green is the wife's name. The name of the book is "Bitter Harvest" - might be able to find it in your local library. This happened many years ago. Deborah Green has tried to get paroled at least once that I am aware of.
If my doctor was sickly looking, I'd pitch a fit. I once saw a food worker complain about being sick and the manager witch at her and I had a fit, I went full Karen and said in no way should they be making food. The manager just wanted them to keep going. The restaurant made the excuse she had diabetes but the lady was sickly and she voiced wanting to go home.
Yeah, that's cruel and unusual punishment IMO. If the restaurant cares so much more about money than their employees, then just wait for the lawsuits to start piling in after customers start getting sick from the employees.
And if the employee has diabetes, that's almost more concerning. She could have ended up in a hospital...or worse! Stupid company. I used to work in a grocery store as a checker, and there was a day that it was so busy they didn't want to let anyone take a break! We were forced to work through our breaks and lunches! I had to go to the bathroom and couldn't. I desperately needed a drink: I'd gotten so dehydrated! I contacted an attorney afterwards to see if what they were doing was illegal. I was told yes, but it would cost a lot of money to take them to court. So unfortunately I felt like I couldn't do anything about it other than quit, which I eventually did.
How could anyone especially a mother and a wife be so evil. I know a spouse can attempt or actually kill their spouse, but to kill two of your own children is the most vile. As a Paramedic I have seen these horrible disgusting tragedies. Yet I will never be able to wrap my head around such evilness. I pray she never gets out of prison, even when her 40 years has been served. More importantly I pray he and his daughter are able to live their lives as best as they can. Bless them both. 🙏🙏❤🇺🇸🚑

This is the most disturbing plot twist I've ever seen in one of these medical documentaries.
I can’t believe it took these dr so many relapses before realizing he was being poisoned.
Not real doctors
I can. I don't think anyone wants to consider that someone they thought loved them would consider doing anything like that to them regardless of their profession. I can't imagine the emotional trauma they'd have to endure on top of the physical trauma - if they are lucky enough to survive.
Right? The second time pt came back after being discharged and getting violently ill at home, you'd think they would test for poisons with GI symptoms. And begin to suspect wife. Also, anyone else think it was fishy that wife waited until morning to take pt to ER the first time, given his extreme symptoms?
This is insane they couldn't diagnose he was poisoned!
This is the norm unfortunately, and it's completely unacceptable. My Dad was poisoned by his new wife of 7 months (33 years younger), and died about 5 months ago. She is stealing my inheritance and our family home. The Police won't even investigate.
So what is your first clue he was poisoned? What tests would you order? Remember, if you order too many tests people complain and if you don’t order the correct tests people complain. So, you must know what’s wrong to order the correct test. So you order a heavy metal test and it’s negative, then what? Go ahead, tell us what test you order next since you’re so sure what’s wrong with this patient. You can see how difficult it is in diagnosing someone with a multitude of symptoms.
@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO😮 but how do you know that she was poisoning your dad? I' m so sorry if that's true
@@allahlovesyou7241 - I know it because: 1) She literally moved into my Dad's house after their first date, moved in her dog, and put up security cameras. She then tried to alienate me from my father and get him to cut me off financially. He was helping me out because I have health issues. 2) She treated me with a cold indifference and almost disrespect from the first time I met her, -even though I was very kind to her, bought her dog a dog bed because, gave her a large LCD TV, etc.
3) After they were married, he became increasingly sicker and sicker. 4) When it became a Medical Emergency, she called an Uber instead of 911, and delayed his medical treatment. She then didn't call me for 2+ days until it was too late, and neither did the hospital (despite me being the Power of Attorney caregiver on his "Advance Health Care Directive". 5) She then had his body cremated (thus sucessfully destroying the evidence) despite my insistance that I wanted to preserve the body and bury him, and conduct an Autopsy and Forensic Toxicology testing .
6) Ever since his death, she has been plotting against me, tying up "loose ends", going over my Father's Financial Documents, cutting me off financially, stealing from us, filing Life Insurance claims, preventing me from going to our family home to retrieve our family possessions, etc. She has stolen everything and violated the terms of my Father's Living Trust. There is so much more circumstantial evidence I can't even list it all.

What amazes me is that as a doctor who is throwing up 20 times an hour did not have test done.
Exactly
Why on earth did he allow their kids to stay with that crazy woman?!?!
It is an unfortunate reality that when it comes to children, men are treated like second class citizens. If he had taken the children with him it is highly likely she would have called the cops on and gotten him into trouble with the law. It's also likely that she would have killed herself or staged her own death to cause him harm. I'd lay good odds that the kid that made it out was her favorite. The other two were ties to her husband that she wanted dead so they and the house had to go.
Ooh am even crying as I watch this helpless Doctor.A savior,A healer, a friend of hopeless was sick. Oh My God I can't hold back my tears.L just love Doctors and Nurses very much 🙏🙏💕💕
The kids burned alive too
If you think your spouse is poisoning you, why would you leave your children?????
Same thought 😮😢
True!!
And especially when spouse's behavior was so erratic as to require four days of psychiatric hospitalization! Husband leaves the kids with her? What???!!!
Because he wasn't even entirely sure... What type of evil monster would do this? He even said " I'm confident she wouldn't harm the children" which is a valid thought. Especially before all these true crime podcast came out because this happened In 1995
From watching true crime shows and medical shows (like this one), I often see a poisoner will only go after one person (unless they have a Dr Death complex). In this case it was the husband and not the kids. At the time she showed no harm towards the kids. Yes I know there are cases where mum have killed their kids to get back at the spouse, but in this case that doesn't seem to be the case. While she was away and he was doing his research, there was no signs that the children were in danger until he moved out and she set the house on fire. He has had to live with the fact that he couldn't protect his kids and even though she was becoming unhinged, it was towards him and not the kids.
Because this episode is on here and it was a difficult diagnosis I immediately knew someone was poisoning someone.
He was able to diagnose himself because he was the only person who had all the pieces of the puzzle. Not telling the medical people treating him about the pending divorce and later the police about the castor beans he found allowed her twisted mind to keep plotting. When admitting someone to hospital, we usually ask marital status and if a patient feels "safe" in their home. A similar situation happened at the hospital I worked at, a doctor got angry at his fiance and starting poisoning her coffee. Because she was a nurse working in the same department, he was able to slip her doses both at home and at work.
Um, is she ok?!?@ 😳
I am shocked that his colleagues didn't order a full blood panel from day one.
How did she find out? Did she no it was him straight away? Is she okay now I do hope so this has opened my eyes to what some folks are really like there is some evil people in this world God help us all.
@@Lyn4817yeah, it seems like it would be a standard procedure.
@@christinewynter2036what's sad is that people have been doing things like this for decades. Like with all the anti-freeze poisonings.
😮😢Poor man 🙏 He must miss his children tremendeously..... No one deserves the nightmare he went through ... He will never trust no one🌹 as for that evil woman, 40 years to think of the lives she destroyed and killed.
After his second trip back home and then his third trip back to the hospital I thought this sounds like a poisoning to me... it's happening right after he eats. But I'm thinking the title of the video mentions it being a virus though so this is weird. but it turns out I was right. But what shocked me the most was the fire that killed two of his children I could not believe that happened. my jaw dropped immediately when I heard that. For her to only get 40 years is a crime itself. there should be no chance that she ever be released back on the street
They usually do half of the sentences so she's probably free already
After decades of spousal poisonings, you'd think hospitals would test for that if a person gets better in a hospital then returns sick after spending time at home. Also, you'd think they wouldn't allow spouses (or anyone) to bring outside food into the hospital for patients. I'm referring to other episodes I've seen where spouses would bring in a "favorite food" to "help" their spouse "get better." Ridiculous!
Exactly. Even his second trip back was suspicious. The third was a huge red flag.
I was curious to know what he was up to now as this was so long ago. Sadly, Dr. Farrar passed away in August of this year, 2023. It appears he remarried. And his sole surviving daughter is also married with a daughter whom he loved.
Sadly , He has passed in August of last year, I have read that they are doing a investigation in his death. I'm wondering do that suspect that he was murdered? The family and friends have no comments at this time.
With the severity of those symptoms, i would have wondered about ebola, or some other weird tropical disease. He should NOT have gone to work, or anywhere near ANYONE.
This occurred many years before Ebola!
When i first saw this story about his stomach complaint and they couldn't find a cause, i amediently had an inkling it was something to do with his wife, its so sad that he also lost his inocent children this way. Never the less i hope he has recovered some how and can find some peace thanks for sharing your story my prayers are with you God bless you.
Get a toxicology screen! 😅
Their 2 kids not surviving the fire makes it totally unforgiveable. He should have separated the kids from wife the moment he suspected the poisoning. So sad.
His suffering was tremendous, but I am glad he found the real reason of his illness. Poor kids who vanished in house fire set up by their own mother. 😢
Can people stop blaming Mike? He wanted to get out of the situation so she wouldn’t lash out at him or have access to his food.
You could just as easily blame her psychologist who concluded she just had a chemical imbalance and just needed to take a few pills and rest and she’d be fine. He didn’t notice signs she was going to attempt quadruple homicide and he was more qualified than Mike
Also Ricin is difficult to test for and he probably would have lost a custody battle if he went to court. He just wanted to be done with it
With a repeat mystery illness, everyone should consider their spouse as a possible suspect in poisoning them, even if they truly are the nicest person. It’s just one more thing to rule out on your checklist.✔️
Thank God he was a known doctor, the rest of us would be called drug seekers or “anxiety” and treated with PPI’s and sent home.
Went to ER, couldn’t hardly walk, vomiting, diarrhea, severe pain, lost 30+ lbs in 2 months, dehydrated, and the ER doctor said…cmon stomach pain isn’t that bad, gave me a “cocktail” and sent me home. Ended up have 3 ulcers, HPylori, and a damaged LES valve. I also quit nursing.
Sorry, I’m not minimizing this man’s condition nor comparing, honestly just saying thank God he had “family” in the hospital.
I hope you are recovering from your stomach issues. I agree about being treated as mental cases when going to the hospital or a doctor.
How freaking sad. You think you know someone and boom, they are a slow killer If you have any feelings for someone, not loving necessarily, but just care for people in general, to see them suffering and almost dying multiple times, it would affect you. She is pure evil and cold. And killing her kids???? That’s just insanity at its best. God bless their hearts. Keep that woman behind bars. She doesn’t deserve a life of freedom. Prayers to all involved and especially the victims. Sigh!!!
Agree
Now, the doctor finally understood how patients feel especially when they are untreated and constantly misdiagnosed by doctors.
Geez. Nice to know that you justify (attempted) murder.
And lumping all doctors together?? 👎
@@Galaxie08wow, grasping at straws
The doctor at the end, speaking of the "emotional impact of the illness". Sir, what about the emotional impact of loosing two of your children?!?
That goes without saying.😮💨
What is supposed to do cry for you so you can see he is hurting
Wow 👎👎
I must have watched too many crime videos but I kept thinking "she is poisoning you". What a nightmare.
I always look at doctors and think they have it all together in life. Just shows mental illness is not a respecter of wealth or success.
You should never think that about doctors, or anyone who makes a high salary. Lots of doctors are narcissists. I've watched many crime shows with murdering doctors, and they were all quite sane.
I had diarrhea, vomiting , couldn’t keep water down I was on the floor curled in a fetal position 10 months later I had a diagnosis after I seen the gasterestronal. It was called h. Palorie. It attacks the stomach can eat the lining of the stomach and cause ulcers. I thought I was going to die. I was on 16 antibiotics per day for 3 weeks. I couldn’t move, I fainted, I lost a ton of weight. Etc. you can get really sick from travelling.
Yes but H.P. Isn’t just a traveling disease, u can get it here in US. I say this because my 12 yr old niece was just diagnosed with this and she hasn’t ever even traveled out of the state. The furthest she’s travelled is 2 hrs from one city to another. She lives with her grandmother who by the way is ocd on cleanliness and they very rarely eat out as they can’t afford it. When they do they usually order fast food, such as pizza, burgers, Taco Bell, Starbucks, the usual. Doctors always want to assume one picks up something from other countries but no. Just recently my 72 yr old mother was also diagnosed with this, she also hadn’t traveled recently, lives at home alone and her hobby is to clean her house I’m not exaggerating. Usually illnesses we get are from our surroundings at home.
Gosh how awful; do you know if there is any kind of prevention strategy; such as monitory what we eat... glad you recovered but what a frightful experience.
HP is very contagious
I had H P for a few years and finally got diagnosed and treated😢 ,all Drs prescribed Omeprazole for yrs 😢😢😢😢😢😢
😢Traveling is overrated. I know of a young man that caught a bug in India, came home, wasted away, they could do nothing for him, dead at 29.
Watch travel videos, save tons of money, maybe your life.
I knew it was the wife poisoning him. These doctors need to start checking for poisoning when their are bad stomach issues like his. I saw another story about a man who had similar symptoms and the doctors didn't check for poisoning and it turned out he was being poisoned by someone he worked with. Never underestimate what people are capable of. Check all avenues. This doctor is lucky he survived this.
True crime buff can easily know it.
@@stfuplsokJust knowing human nature and what they are capable of lets me know it.
@@laurielaurie8280 I watched too much of this type of crime here on YT that's why I knew beforehand that it is poisoning (by a loved one!?). So it's a No-brainer.
@@stfuplsokDoctors should be smarter
@@laurielaurie8280 yes, also these cases were long time ago. It would be totally different now I hope.
I love these episodes! But this one really shook me to my core!!! I am in and out of the hospital for many years now and for many health problems. I have NEVER been treated like this doctor was!!!!!!! It is a shame that normal people get tossed aside while the people with doctrines or badges are given the VIP treatment!!!!!!! It is a shame!!!!!!! It is unfair!!!!!!! It is unjust!!!!!!! IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHO YOU ARE OR HOW MUCH YOU MAKE, EVERYONE DESERVES THE SAME, AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF CARE!!!!!
As a mom, who also sacrificed my career for 12 years for my children's sake to become a stay home mom those years, I've learned to trust NO ONE, I mean I would even trust my husband many times (after reading so many cases of sexual assaults) and so, I would have never, ever left and leave my children alone with my spouse specifically knowing he has been poisoning me. I am sure he regrets that decision for the rest of his life. 😢 Evil woman.
This is very surprising for such highly educated people.
I get the feeling that if they had had a proper discussion about her giving up work completely, allowing her a proper choice and to be able to return to work if that was HER CHOICE, then she would not have felt and acted that way. In fact, they could both have worked reduced hours and shared looking after young children when they're not in school and been in a happier and healthier relationship.
This is the same guy whose ex wife murdered their kids in a housefire in 1995. He died at 68.
Caught the poisoning when he found the drugs in her cabinet. Castor beans are quite deadly. Glad you survived. ❤
Poor guy passed away at 68. I’m sure he had some permanent damage to his body & heart from that poisoning .
40 years is not longer enough. She should have got life in jail.
Yeah, agreed. She’ll probably get put on parole within 20 years too 🙄.
She’s dangerous
Who in trouble? Doctor or wife?
That’s your opinion. To someone who’s forty years old…that’s a lifetime.
@@jackson2009ifyit's so crazy but I'll let you in on a secret, if you watch the episode it actually tells you who it is
female privilege
poisoning was the first thing that entered my mind
He passed away this year in August. RIP, Mike.
from what?
@@suomynonaanonymous old age
@@AdrielScott-8588. 68 years old. Ricin poisoning can have lasting effects as it attacks vital organs. His heart was already weakened. Median age for death in the US is 74.8 yrs.
The surviving kid, has nobody now. 😢
Omg,that is heartbreaking news. 68 is not an age that you would think anyone would pass away. My thoughts are with his family and friends..😢💔😢💔
when did anyone state Mike died at 68? and when did anyone state that anyone died at 68???? bruh???
@@coffeebeanedyou can google his obit. He died in aug of this year.
@@coffeebeanedjust Google Dr Mike Farrar's name and it says he died in August of this year. Relax.
I think this person commented on the wrong post.
People pass away at 68 all the time. It's not as if it's 28.
I really don’t know how people intelligent enough to be specialist doctors can be so emotionally stupid not to realise that there is a snake in their house - and then to actually confront his wife about the castor beans rather than going straight to the police! The police may not have been as useless as he seems to assume! He is way too nice a guy for his own good!
You are so right! Doc seems slow on the uptake, to the point that I wouldn't want him as a disgnostician. Also, they've likely had hoses down his throat and up his a$$ from the get-go, but he withholds the fact of his divorce because it's too "personal"???
@@janvandusen5700 No, because they dont fail.
What are castor beans?
Too Nice? ... And too Stupid!! or too Naive!!
He is a way too arrogant guy.
It was remarkable that he was able to diagnose his condition. Huge condolences to him for his kids. That's heartbreaking to hear... 😢😢😢
This one of the most horrible stories I’ve ever heard. That theses doctors didn’t figure it out is unbelievable.
I had diarrhea for a month straight, day and night, during 2020. In fact, it was June, because it’s my birthday month. On my birthday I had to go to the ER because the stomach pain was so bad. They couldn’t find anything nor alleviate my symptoms. No test could identify what it was. From what I hear, gastro symptoms were present in certain strains of Covid. I have no idea what it was, but I’m glad it’s over and not a chronic disease.
OMLord, what a Tragic outcome for this family!! The poor, poor children, Lifelong Trauma for the one child and for her father. Heartbreaking.
Just shows you Drs should do toxicology reports routinely !
Is anyone else a little concerned that a very sick doctor won't go home!? Not very reassuring that a doctor in a hospital doesn't take his own advice to not expose vulnerable people to the illness....😮
40 years for killing 2 kids and almost killing her husband. Shame.
My ex did even worse to me. Evil does evil things. Stay safe good ppl❤
Does anyone know what Mike died from at 68yrs old? Way too young! RIP😢
In 2006, i got sick like that while in Vegas, i stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks, slipping in and out of consciousness, and my partner kept my fluids up. The entire two weeks, i was constantly throwing up and diarrhoea, hallucinations, hot, then freezing cold. We had to leave, i was still ill but a little better for 2 more weeks in LA. Then, I had to fly home to Australia. It's the sickest I've ever been in my life and never saw a doctor. (I still dont know why i didnt call a doctor...)
I lost 25kg in the 6 weeks.
It was a silver lining.
Why didn’t ur partner call emergency !?
I watch to many of these crime documentaries because as soon as he got sick after going home I thought he was being poisoned and when he was packing up for divorce my first thought was you better not leave the kids with her.
This is the second video I've watched in 2 days where a man went into the hospital with the same symptoms in the hospital could not figure out what's wrong with him. Both times the patient is the one that diagnosed and told the doctors what he thought was wrong with him. This should be something that's told in medical school. When people have symptoms like this they should directly check for poisoning in the blood system . The other video I watched she used arsenic😮
She is a piece of work. Father give this foctor continued strength. They are wicked people out there
My uncle was a surgeon, also a missionary. He went to Africa and got malaria. He couldn't be a surgeon anymore afterwards. He just took more schooling to become psychologist. Dr. Lawrence Banta, Caldwell, Idaho.
This true story is horrible. It's like the move sleeping with the enemy really heartbreaking. This horrible story will remain in this Doctor heart and mind forever. 😮😮😮
This was told in a book by Ann Rule; I believe it was called Bitter Harvest.
Debra Green?
@@charlenescott-u8q yep that was her!
Poor man I see tears on his face whilst narrating his stomach aches experiences😢
I work in Health care as well, and if we get sick it better be death bed sick unless you can convince someone to cover for you. Its a tough gig, who knows what pressures were put on him. I do agree its stupid he went in, though, since it sounds like he was just being stubborn even though he was probably advised to go home by his coworkers. Going for years without missing a day and not wanting to break that record is no excuse for putting others inabsolute danger!
I only made it 42 years by working 32 hour weeks 😅
Running a fever, but due to his proud work ethic, exposing already ill and vulnerable patients to a possible illness takes a back seat. People put too much emphasis on never missing work, they spread serious viruses rather than appear weak. I pray Corona Virus has woken people up. A Dr should know better, but it's so ingrained in our society even they make note of it.
So many highly educated people yet so many mistakes made by all. Most of what happened could have been prevented.
...not highly educated though.
This is why doctors scare me... they think they know everything!
Its so funny how you guys think you know it all, just thank these documentaries which made you specialists over night 😂😂
He is blessed to have physicians for friends & love ones, eager to solve the mystery! So many aren’t that lucky, let alone have health insurance to cover such a medical mystery…
Ann Rule wrote a book about this story. I believe its called Bitter Harvest. Debra told her son over the homes intercom to stay in his room and wait to be rescued. The youngest daughter was found still in bed. The book goes into much more detail about how they prsented the evidence in court that she did this to her family. So sad. I'm glad the doctor and his oldest daughter survived her wrath.
Rule was a gloryhound frankly! Boasted CONSTANTLY about her affiliation with Bundy! Made me sick!
To be so out of control that you would set fire to your house with your children in it is beyond the pale…what did they say they wanted to go live with Daddy? Or did she simply lose her mind because of hate. So, so terrible. MsS
What an awful thing she did. To his wife (new one), daughter, son in law, granddaughter and parents; I’m so sorry for your recent loss of Mike
What is wrong with people who do this to someone!!
Age old proverb: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Bingo
Bible says all fall short of the glory of God.
For all have sinned.
This is one of the worst stories Ive ever heard. Those poor kids! They were innocent by standers. That woman should never get out.
40 years is not enough for this lady !!!!
Too bad a good homicide detective as well as a forensic pathologist were not made aware of the coincidences of the "mysterious illnesses" recurring immediately after Dr, Farrar returned home each time.
Evil person
Great. A doctor brings a possible contagious disease into the hospital
They didn’t do a toxicology test?
I immediately believed Mike was poisoned. Why is it that no doctors even considered that option?
I'm only 2 minutes in, and I am shocked!!
Both HE and HIS WIFE are Medical Doctors ... He gets violently sick out of the blue, and not only do they not immediately get him to the hospital, but he goes to work the next day as if nothing happened??
I can't wait to see what happens next!
I had that poisoning down from the beginning.
Oohh am deeply sorry,I always remember Doctors and Nurses in my prayers.🙏💕💕
What a wicked wicked evil woman!! 😡
Meanwhile, the meds she was on for depression made her psychotic.
Oh My Gosh! How tragic.
