Lucy Letby: A Healthcare Horror Story

- This is a tale of a killer hiding in plain sight.
A smiling nurse in blue scrubs caring for the most vulnerable of society.
A smiling nurse who wore a mask for years.
This is not just simply the story of how she carried out her atrocities but why...why was she allowed to get away with it for so long and why the NHS systems are to blame for not picking this up sooner. - Розваги
this man has the ability to save lives in surgery, inform and advocate for public health, AND provide phenomenal medical journalism pieces! it’s amazing
:)
@@DrKaranwhere do you even get the time? There's no way you're a full time *general* surgeon
A man for the ages!
What can’t this man do? 🤷🏼♀️
Honestly truly amazing! Such a great comment as well! Take care everyone!❤
My brother is 18 now, but when he was a baby he was in the hospital for 6 months, he was born with Down syndrome and had a feeding tube. My mom had expressed her concern to a doctor that a nurse wasn’t changing his diapers enough. (He was on meds that made him pee like a crazy little dude)
They acted like she was paranoid mama, so she started marking his diapers with a pen.
Sure as shit one time the pen mark was still there! She showed the doctor who was all sheepish about not sharing her concern and the nurse was reprimanded.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hey when it comes to your kids you do what you gotta. Sounds like a good mom
Ugh. What a nightmare it must be to have to leave your tiny helpless baby behind in a hospital, for 6 months no less. Then to know your child wasn’t receiving adequate care is even more heartbreaking.
But the doctors weren’t, and most importantly the system wasn’t improved.
As an ex nurse, if anyone experiences this, go to the nurse's station and complain directly to the nurse in charge. The doctors have nothing to do with most of the care on the ward. They check patients, prescribe things, perform surgeries, check on patients post op, etc but outside of their daily rounds on the ward, they do not have a hand in the 24/7 care. Nurses and AINs (CNA in America) do showering, toileting, feeding, bed baths, wound dressings, pad changes, transfers, pressure area care, medication administration, cannulation if trained, changing IV bags, feeding tube bags and so much more.
If they're being dismissive ask to speak to the NUM. If they say they're not in at the moment, ask when they're next working. It's only going to be annoying to us if we're doing our job and if we are, a good nurse will go through our routine and what we're doing to compensate for your relative if they require extra changes outside of the normal routines.
The fact that she murdered one of the twins but she wasn’t satisfied and went back deliberately trying to kill the sister is so diabolically evil I can’t even process it 😰
Yeah, she had a thing for siblings. I hypothesize that her sociopathy is born out of her parent's incessant attention and demands and she always wished she had a sibling to share that attention in order to loosen the pressure.
Alternatively, she liked the 'genetic reasons' explanation of both neonates dying.
Depends on whether she's a sociopath (just a personality disorder) or a psychopath (a personality disorder with brain abnormalities).
No god but Allah
Islam way for peace and real monotheist
Search about the truth with honest heart,
Why is it more evil than the original crime? If she had been more evil, she would control herself enough not to make a second attempt because that increased her likelihood of getting caught. The evil was she wanted to kill people and selected the most vulnerable because those are less likely to be noticed
@@gejost I think you have a point, although it's not really the amount of evil but the amount of psychopathy you are talking about. I suspect that she was doing all this prior to the escalation, but the escalation/less evil/less psychopathy was likely to be because of the doctor she fancied.
Although I find it wholy wrong to be calling somebody less evil because they killed more people.
This is evil no one can escape God judgment of condemnation if they don't repent of their sins no matter what sin
Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today

As an ex-paediatric nurse it really breaks my heart that this happened (obviously) but also the sheer number of missed opportunities. That is just staggering!
I am the most angry at the people that protected her. Society will always have a few percent of psychpaths that dont have a conscience. That's life! But its infuriating when a whole apparatus of people could have stopped it but didnt.

Reminds me of care services for learning disabled people. Systemic abuse, human rights violations and deaths, hundreds of inquiries and reform attempts, but nothing ever seems to change, we just hear "lessons will be learned" and then it's back to business as usual. Often, deaths don't even get investigated, they just get put down as "natural causes" and accepted because the person has a learning disability, even though most conditions don't affect lifespan. It's so depressing. There's also a serious problem with organisations not fully understanding that people have human rights and trying to control people as if they are a child (of course some people lack capacity to decide certain things for themselves, but assessments are not always carried out and organisations often inappropriately assume that people have a complete lack of capacity to decide anything for themselves, which is rarely true.
I am a mom to a disabled child and this truth makes me sick to the core. And scared for what's to come. But thank you for pointing it out.
Oh I know that feeling. I feel this too I was born autistic in 2001 and boy. I had a hard time in school. Let me tell you that.
So creepy
Honestly it's horrifying, I work in care, have a high level care qualification and genuinely love working in care... and my coworkers are taxi cab drivers who want to make extra cash, factory workers who lost their jobs, someone with a level 1 qualification in understanding autism and now lone works on thr most vulnerable, It's scary and needs to change drastically. 😨
I'm blind and live in the UK. This is so true, some non disabled people treat disabled people like we're kids and it's disgusting.
What an amazing video script Dr Karan. It’s so thorough, detailed and exceptionally well explained. This is the same story of Charles Cullen where the hospital was more focused on their reputation than the patients safety until…Unbelievable the world we live in.
Thanks for watching!
The toxic environment of the Countess has been a problem for many years, mainly from senior management who just didn’t give a shit. Made my dad give up on his anaesthesiology consultant pathway in the 90’s to become a GP and the bullying my mum got forced her to quit nursing entirely in the early 2000’s. Took her about 20 years before she could get back to the profession she loved. It’s no surprise to me something like this happened, despite many opportunities to learn from previous mistakes, staff never got taken seriously by the upper echelons. It’s really tragic
You are making such an excellent point. We have to learn from mistakes. We have to BE ABLE TO learn from mistakes. It's disturbing that there's a culture of hiding errors in the healthcare industry. I kind of get it; people in the healthcare industry are so educated, it's probably really hard to admit that you missed something. But people's lives are at stake. We should figure out a black box for medicine.
We definitely do
Thank you for speaking so openly about such a thorny subject. We had a case here some years ago where a nurse forgot a baby in a malfunctioning incubator and the child, though he survived, was badly burned on large surfaces and needs repeated surgeries until he will turn 18. Gross negligence as it was and not criminal intent, the nurse only got a sentence of a few months with suspension and no other retribution for her still criminal carelessness, while the family keeps struggling with the child's permanent disabilities. I'm afraid around here the trust in the health field isn't at all what it used to be...
I know that there are wolves in sheep's clothing everywhere, but I still cannot wrap my head about how someone could be so soulless and cruel to kill an innocent creature, especially a newborn. Even people I know who don't like kids and don't want them would be just as angry as me at these type of monsters. It's like just as I don't think humanity could get worse, it does. However, I understand that holding too much cynicism is harmful, because as much evil as there is in the world, there is good and we have to do everything in our power to maintain faith in humanity to make anything better in the first place.
I feel that having a balanced sense of suspicion/skepticism around all humans is warranted. Sure, we being a social species means that we (usually) want to care for the most vulnerable, but there is always the potential for any human, no matter their look, or profession, to be an absolute monster.
Especially if they're acting weird as fuck and higher ups are trying to cover for them.
Almost playing in to detachment and dissociation seen in psychopaths. After all she did target the most vulnerable.
Probably phycopathy. Some people are born like that and it's honestly scary how well they blend in the environment.
Suspect anyone who seeks out a position of power--whether a health professional like this, or military, police, judges, politicians, social workers, teachers, parents, priests...
Your style of story telling is top tier 👌🏾
Thank you!
I've heard about this case. It's so heartbreaking and it's so sad to think that someone could do something this terrible. My condolences to the families of the victims.
Great video Dr Karan. As a lawyer and spouse of a pilot, one thing is add is that what stands in the way of the medical profession adopting the openness of aviation is the vast medical negligence litigation industry. The records doctors keep can be used to expose errors resulting in suspension of licences and personal liability. It’s no wonder doctors are disincentivised from speaking up when things go wrong.
When I heard about this case I was so shocked how long it took the hospital to figure it out… were there not cameras? Why was she continuously allowed to be near infants when she was a suspect? All of these deaths were preventable.
The no camera thing is crazy!!
There is a lot of nudity in an hospital.... as a patient I wouldn't appreciate so much filming 😬
@@cs4887 cameras don’t need to be in a room tho. Just had one pointed to rooms entrance in hallway. If repeatedly after some nurses visits kids continue to die within a similar span of time - it’s suspicious enough to stealthy monitor her activities.
@@gene6224 doctors were suspicious from the first few ones, she was the common denominator 🤷🏻♀️ they didn't even need cameras
Bruh, the way I would've set up 24 hr security in the NICU and have every medical professional sign in and out of there...
Appreciate the true crime Content but with your own unique twist. You're a great content creator, Doc.
Thanks, i appreciate this! Was a hard Video To Get Right
That really was fantastically done. For you to take the risk of speaking out and possibly eliminating your ability to practice in the future (plus the onslaught of enablers, accomplices, and maybe a perpetrator or two that you're no doubt fielding atm) takes an absolutely admirable amount of courage. Thank you.
Didn't expect to see true crime from Dr. Karan but i'm not complaining
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's a great deal more empathic than the average UA-cam true crime, which I very much respect.
Imagine sensing possible malpractice but getting punished for whistleblowing… that has to have an impact on your mental health and your ability to work
From a psychological perspective it’s worrying how she manipulated EVERYONE she knew. I feel that she will never admit it and we will never know why she did it.
Edit: I agree that things need to change. Society may also have a part to play as we put doctors and nurses on pedestals and position them as incapable of making mistakes. This feeds the culture and makes it harder to accept failure
I'm in Australia and I agree! I've seen it here! People put nurses and drs on pedestals all too often! But to the point when something does go wrong some people will make excuse after excuse for the drs and nurses almost to the point if not to the point of victim blaming- I'm not denying nurses and drs aren't run off their feet but the general public needs to take off their blinkers at some point because until then nothing will change (yes I'm aware it's up to govt to change things but public perception doesn't help issues currently)
She had already written diaries full of pages with stuff like “I did it” and “I am evil.” She did admit it, just not to the media.
As a health educator who walked away from healthcare about a year ago, American hospitals have the same toxic, unhealthy workplace culture. It's unfathomable that Lucy's coworkers were made to apologize to her (for having genuine concerns) about patient safety.
The head nurse (nurse manager) failed the babies and their families because she didn't prioritize patient safety over Lucy's feelings. Many of these untimely deaths were preventable. The hospital need to do a forensic audit of all the patients who were assigned to this callous woman. 😞😞
Agreed
As an older nurse who worked in a NICU and more. What I have observed & learned over the years is that there are very sick individuals out there and scary thing is they go into a chosen field and then wreak havoc in their chosen fields. These individuals are out there but the most unfortunate thing is most of us don’t recognize oddities in people. Trust your gut. If “something” doesn’t seem right then pay attention.
Thank you so much Dr. I am from the aviation industry and you made me realise how fortunate I am to be in such an industry where there is maximum transparency. Apart from what you have covered, we actually sit down and have conversations before and after a flight.
There is no hierarchy and powerplay, a one month experienced person can give feedback to a person with 20years of experience. Once it's done we shake our hands and leave the table with a smile... 😊
i see what you're doing here. i applaud you. i was pensioned out of the nhs for knowing about specific corruption and speaking out about it.
One more big difference in error management in aviation vs most other industries is the consequences for the person that made an error. In aviation, at least in the western system, if a crew member/atc/etc. makes an genuine mistake (not a deliberate violation), even if it causes incident, they are not reprimanded/punished. Of course, their ability is evaluated and additional training may be required, but there are no demotions or other consequences except duty limitations made to ensure flight safety. So, a person knows that even if he reports his mistake, it will not cause any serious harm to their career and life, and that's why reporting works.
Over a decade ago, my state had a human error and patient safety course. Understanding how errors happen, fostering a no blame culture, understanding crew resource management… it seems to have fallen apart now.
This is such an impactful video; not only due to the case, but the message. Well done, Dr. Karan.
Thank you :)
Thank you for this mate. As a peads nurse in NHS those stories hit hard, and i completely agree with the statement of changing the attitude to failure and being open and honest with mistakes. Keep up the stellar content bud. You are an inspiration :):)
That’s how airlines work and that’s why flying is so safe.
Thank you very much for this deep insight into the NHS system's weakness. It's true that failure without acceptance is dooming for all, and I hope there will be actions taken to improve the system, even though it is unlikely.
Furthermore, it's disheartening to see so many cancer misdiagnoses happening under the NHS. I've heard truly disturbing stories and experiences from this, and I do hope that this will be improved upon.
A true crime channel but by a doctor that can explain medically what happened would be a channel I would adore. Please more content like this!
Never had notifications on for you but this video made me turn them on. Great video.
:)
My siblings and I were born at this hospital, crazy to think about
Really solid reasoning, we only learn from mistakes if we admit they happened.
I’m a victim of a medical mistake and trying to get information on what happened and why was nigh impossible. I wasn’t looking to sue or get rich, I wanted to know what happened so I could try and improve my QoL, which had been impacted by what happened. Yet ‘records’ were missing or not filed and in the end I had to give up, and now any surgery I need is now higher risk because it was not recorded what anesthetic drugs were given to cause cardiac arrest.
It’s also sickening that Lucy no doubt took advantage of the trusting nature of hospital staff to commit her murders. It was calculated; tho why she did it, I guess we won’t know until she reveals why.
I had a medical error happen to me, which resulted in me being blue lighted in a few days later. I demanded an investigation and an apology, the result of the investigation was (I’m paraphrasing) “shit happens, soz” and the apology was delivered to me via a nurse. All I needed was for the surgeon who harmed me to look me in the eye and show remorse, say they’ll do better and apologise. Like you say, we need a blame-free culture and for staff to own their mistakes.
I don’t remember which book I read it in but there was the case study of a hospital in the US that had the most toxic culture. One story shared included a man who was supposed to have surgery but for some reason it wasn’t marked which side of body. A nurse brought up the problem but the doctor (known to be an arrogant man) got mad about the potential delay, wrote in his own notes on which side he said it was but only realized after knee deep in surgery they work working on the wrong side of the patient’s body. This was only one of many examples given about the chaos of this issue.
Another story (not same hospital) was a man who committed suicide after surgery. after they got the medical records it was discovered the anesthesiologist gave the paralytic drug but not the ones that would knock the patient out. The patient was conscious for 16 minutes of the gallbladder surgery. The anesthesiologist tried to cover the mistake with an amnesia drug and no one in that OR who all knew about it reported it. Tragic ending that didn’t have to happen.
Thank you for such an informative survey of this horrendous situation, and such a strong message as the conclusion. Unfortunately, it seems that unaccountability will always thrive wherever intransparency and rigid hierarchical structures exist, and the truth can be uncovered only by those who are courageous enough to speak up, even if it means loosing the job.
The stakes in healthcare might be higher than in other places, but just think of all of the things that get swept under the rug in army, schools, elderly care facilities, orphanages. My grandma was physically abused in mental health facility. Friend molested at the kindergarten. And it's only what happened to those close to me and what I know of. The world can be extremely ugly, and while you shouldn't be paranoic about it, never let your guard down and be vigilant. And be prepared to stand up for yourself and the others if the time comes.
Perfectly put.
I’m involved in a practice review for a ward at the moment. The team say they’re there to help, but everyone involved is feeling very defensive because they feel it’s disciplinary and we will all end up in trouble. It’s awful that everyone in the NHS feels so defensive, it’s not healthy.
I work with ex prem children who are tube fed in the community. I couldn't believe this.
Its disgusting how concerns were not taken seriously. I meet the families and often hear how difficult it was being in hospital and love seeing how far they've come.
This nurse shouldn't have the title of nurse. She should never be allowed out. Shame on the managers that protected her
You can tell just how smart he is by the way he speaks, explains, contrast & compares, and expresses concepts, thoughts, truths & reality, and his own opinions. 🤩
Thank you :)
Clicked this as I was keen to hear someone i respect give their views on this. Did not expect the brilliant analysis of the cultural problems within health and social care. As someone in the field i completely agree.
Thank you
Definitely, when a doctor has a gut feeling on something it should definitely be looked over and heard.
I was born in the Countess of Chester, and as a newborn I spent some time on the neonatal intensive care unit (I was pretty badly jaundiced, apparently). It's possible, some of the nurses who looked after me nearly thirty two years ago may have worked with Lucy Letby.
I don't know if we ever will understand *why* she did what she did, but I imagine psychologists will be studying her actions for a long time.
Is it not up to her who, or anybody, can study her? I would,nt say she would want 2 speak 2 anybody, if she wouldnt go 2 her sentencing, she is hardly going 2 let any mentally trained people near her, cheers from dublin. X
If I was one of those babies parents….
I’m not saying I would attempt to be in the same jail as her. But I’m not saying I would avoid it either.
Thank you for not only working to save lives but for taking the time to explain, with compassion and a truly critical eye, the faults and foibles of one of the most challenging industries in the world
More videos like this pls! Appreciate tackling such an emotional subject, yet providing clear information surrounding the case.
I’ve just seen a short where you were explaining how many issues women have with the health system (particularly in the uk where I am) and it literally describes my life. I’ve lived with chronic pain, fatigue and a multitude of other issues for 18 years and I’m still not diagnosed. It’s only because I’m now 46 that it’s actually starting to be believed. I’ve been told for years it’s all in my head which at some points I’ve believed. Thank you so much for your kind words and I really wish you were my doctor. Bless you for the people you do help though. 🎉
Really interesting video! I read the Checklist Manifesto a long time ago and have noticed some safety checks added in hospitals but your video highlights how it won’t work without transparency.
This is such an important video, thank you Doctor Karan for making this.
Thanks for watching!
What questions can we as parents ask in the neonatal department to protect our babies? What answers should we expect?
This is great doc. Thank you for speaking on this topic. I feel for the families and the souls of the gone babies ❤️
Welcome :)
Wow just wow. You have an incredible ability to put out accessible informative and thought provoking content. Please keep being that voice. The clarity and compassion in what you say will have an effect - I hope.
Thank you
Thank you!
Its a huge burden many of you carry. One of many. Thank you for not shying away; amidst your collective exhaustion, both mentally, physically and emotionally, I wouldn't blame any physician for internalizing these situations, and trying to simply function/ survive/ avoid blowback or workplace politics and pressure.. and simply work and function within the limitations of the human condition. Though I am sure that many, if not most, do struggle substantially. All while needing to be a symbol of strength, reliability, and.. the help. Often at the worst time of other people's lives, there is little room for medical personnel to be human. I see you, and I thank each of you for doing it regardless.
But, beyond ALL OF THAT, you took space within your time, your limited energy, compassion that is often fatigued.. and underappreciated among medical personnel- and you put this out there. Possibly putting a target, or a sociopolitical strain on you/ your life.
You stand, you look forward, despite the pressure being to look down, do your job, and maintain the image of providers.. and the entities that hover over them with immense weight.
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing. YOU are the strong and brave, among good people. Thank you for doing what others cannot. ❤ I have immense appreciation and respect for you, and for others like you.
Thank you, for keeping the standard for humanity within reason, when many choose not only not to, but to get in the way- in order to protect their agenda.
Solid. You're a solid human. We need you more than ever. ❤
I love the link to the aviation industry. This case tore my heart out. I must admit I’m a consumer of true crime but this one? 😢. This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this platform. Thank you, Dr. K.
Managment's actions were unacceptable. It has forever created distrust within myself and colleagues.
Love this new type of content! I would live for you doing more content on medical killers and malpractice cases. Great work!
In the future for sure !
Well done!! Thank you!
This was a very well made video. Great job Dr Karan, and thank you for holding the healthcare system accountable.
This was well put together, with no waffle and engaging . Keep them coming
Please could you do a deep dive into weight loss surgery, the good, the bad and the ugly. It seems everyone and their dog only has a quarter of a stomach. What are the long-term health impacts, if any
I love this upload of yours! I study criminology, and I also have some interest in healthcare, so seeing this case being covered from a healthcare standpoint is so interesting!!
Hope You enjoyed it!
@@DrKaran I very much did!! So informative, thank you for this great upload!!
Another fantastic video with clear, concise and quality information, you are a true educator on the scene.
I'd love to see what you're thoughts are on Meadow's Law and multiple SIDS within a single family being considered 'guilty until proven innocent'.. if it's right/wrong, the repercussions, and just general information on SIDS.
Whether this interests you.. or reaches you.. I love your work nonetheless! Keep at it Boss!
I’m currently a nursing student in the US but I’m certainly going to apply this principles to my own care and encourage it with others. Thank you :)
True crime is one of my favorite contents to watch. Congrats on the video! Looks awesome! You should do more of these 😊
:)
Great video Doc. Amazingly produced and written. What a terror inducing case.
Thanks for watching
@@DrKaran my goat
You’ve made me cry Dr K. You’re an absolute legend. Best thing that’s happened to the NHS and UK healthcare 🤎
Very well said
One of the issues is the NHS dont want to sack incompetent staff. As someone that also works for the NHS and investigated for bullying due to flagging issues, lots of issues need to be ironed out but management do not wont to deal with it and rather just use it was a tick box exercise.
It’s very hard To be sacked once you’re in the NHS..
@@DrKaran Same problem with the school system in my city. They joke that you have to physically harm a child before you would get fired. Teaching nothing is no problem.
Very inspirational video for an aspiring md student. Thank you
Welcome
Id like to see this become a series. Ive heard this story before but Id absolutely love to hear your perspective on other such cases.
Great video doc! Keep up the awesome work!
:)
Well done for speaking out about this issue, especially given that you work within the organisation which is so dysfunctional. You talk a lot of sense and I hope the powers that be take notice of your ideas and things change, but I won't hold my breath.
I somehow Doubt anything I said will make a difference in change. Talking into the abyss
@@DrKaranI honestly hope it won't be like this! Here's to hoping for a better future‼️ 🙄🙏🏻
Great video and really well approached! If doctors are unable / not listened to when reporting concerns or failings what would be the best way to raise these issues and having them investigated or dealt with properly?
Thank you for sharing
Of course
great video and very interesting. may you and your dog be blessed with good health!

healthcare admin everywhere need to watch this video! from start to finish, no skips!
Yes!! All of your information about blame culture is so spot on. I’ve seen it in the field of engineering too. We need to encourage growth mindsets, looking into problems to find the cause and how to fix it for next time, and not pile on people who make honest mistakes.

Much Respect Doc 💞
The very senior management are also to blame in this case, but other than resigning from their post and transferring to other high paying positions, they would not be prosecuted for their inaction in this case. The consultants have been adamant about the possible culprit in the deaths of newborns but they were silenced to preserve the image of the organisation. Thank you for your investigative journalism in this case.
Multiple points of systemic failure here
I put a complaint in about an evening i spent in the local a & e department where a catalogue of errors occured. The letter was passed on to the CEO at the time, Caroline Shaw (yes she deserves to be named and shamed), she quickly wrote back and told me i was a liar and she believed her staff. I wrote back again. Probably much to her suprise, she didn't bother to reply. Eventually, several months later someone else was put in charge of dealing with complaints, actually investigated my claims, and guess what, found out i wasn't lying after all. Infuriating, but the nhs bosses always stick together no matter what. I've lost a lot of trust in that hospital since, even though she's now gone.
I wondered why at my hospital they made sure I was with my newborn baby pretty much from the second the baby flood my body to the second we went home and every single time they remove the baby from my arms they explained why how long he would be gone and where he was if me, or dad wanted to go check on himI guess cases like this or why they were so worried about making sure that I knew that he was going to be OK anyways I love my labor and delivery nurses and doctors you guys were amazing
Which hospital did u go to?
This story will always break my heart.
Its 1:20 where i live rn and im in a pitch black room. Im highly doubting whether i should watch this
Also, ANOTHER VIDEO FROM OUR FAVOURITE DOCTOR!!
You're amazing doc, love from Pakistan❤
Watch it Tomorrow - Go To Sleep now!
@@DrKaran Absolutely doc! Goodnight 🌟
Dr Karan, your long form videos are awesome!
Thanks!
Excellent video. I especially appreciated the comparison to the airline safety culture.
Yes, Weve got Lots to learn from Aviation!
It is the same way here in the US hospitals, too. I agree something needs to be done.
This is a really important video.
I do think the title misses the mark on what you detail though. I almost didn't click because I've already watched a few true crime youtubers cover her. But I'm glad I did because you point out so much important information about how it's bigger than just Letby and how some of the responsibility should be on those who tried to keep it quiet. A different title that told that would have been an instant click from me.
You have to understand that Dr Karen is not a true trine UA-camr. He’s a surgeon and research who occasionally covers medical crime. Huge difference. He offers a completely inside view because he works in the midst of it.
@@AmieDeLalla I definitely do understand that, I was just offering a thought that might get the video seen by more people
Another thing the aviation industry does well is discuss accidents and incidents at all levels. The reports get shared among everyone responsible for maintaining and operating the particular aircraft type, and they also get analysed and reprinted in books and magazines. Private pilot association magazines usually have a featured accident in every issue, and that is almost always the part of the magazine that is most discussed. One of my relatives was both a private pilot and a member of the armed forces, and he was always telling my family about the latest accidents and incidents. He didn't fly planes at work, but he was very informed about what could go wrong with the planes his colleagues flew. Being that open with information-sharing just makes the whole field safer.
It is staggering to know that the top bosses of the NHS are not held to account for their lack of responsibility and action. Yet they award themselves some of the highest bonuses around for doing very little to nothing.
The NHS is in the situation it is, due to poor, ineffective, misguided, irresponsible, and lack of com0etent management.
Universities are also to blame, as they, like the big bosses of the NHS. Are solely concerned with lining their pockets as much and as quickly as possible and then when something like this happens.
Steps back and takes no responsibility for.not putting in place, measure to ensure suitability.
thank you!
Welcome
I have heard the news of this killer when I was bedridden from salmonella.
Thanks for covering this!
Welcome thanks for watching!
Thank you for speaking up. These types of institutions are so common in every field and industry. Whether In education, policing, government, fire services. Look at the cases that have come out with all these industries. Most of it is power with mad people running these services. Shameful
I love ALL of your videos!!
Thanks :)
I don't think it is only the NHS. It is prevalent in most healthcare institutions in the world. I was a pharmacist working in Singapore hospitals and medical centres. The same blaming system is there not concerned with correcting the problems but more to assigning blame.
Thank you very much for the insightful video. I am sure that i don't know how we can prevent this happening in the future. A lot of people might say we need to bring back the old school matron, as she had eye's in the back of her head. Keep up your excellent work. Don't forget the work life balance though.
Another point about the airlines, they make a culture of openness. There are systems in place to double check everything. And if you suspect something or you choose not to do something because something feels off. They are encouraged to say no or address it without blame.
Evil case horrible woman, however this is a very well put together and explained video great that you are doing something to help the NHS in the end of it
I cannot hardly listen to this. It is so unspeakable horrifying. Evil incarnate operating in a system that allowed her to thrive. It’s almost incomprehensible, but sadly it’s not unheard of before.
"Me and my colleagues see stuff like this on a daily basis" is a far more chilling statement than many will give credit for...For me, when I lived in Hawaii, it at least skipped a day, then again, I couldn't be everywhere at all times...
I refused to listen to any thing about this horrible tragedy, however i knew you would provide insightful commentary and progressive words of wisdom
Dr Karan, do you have any thoughts about the Healthcare Industry in Australia? Last time I talked to my doctor, he said that NHS crisis in the UK are much worse compared to the healthcare/hospital crisis that happened here in Australia.
I like this style of video, kind of reminiscent of JCS.
Great job, man.
It is common everywhere, hierarchy hates feedback from the bottom.
UK should also jail the accompanying nursing director who ignored whistle-blower Drs.
can we expect more content like these dr.Karan?
Yes
