- Poorly Done
I had to stop at episode three.
The guests being used as resources or “experts” to describe the hospital environment made me question the last time they had actually worked in a hospital setting alongside health care professionals. The information presented was so inaccurate that it was incredibly difficult to listen to.
Bags of IV fluid just lying around? Absolutely not. Medications must be ordered by an MD, verified by a pharmacist, and then checked out from a dispensing machine that requir... more

I couldn’t get past episode 1 of season 7. The psychoanalyzing without having done a proper assessment on her and making a correlation between things like not having a best friend in college and psychosis is problematic, and irresponsible. I guess like the title says, the show’s about monsters. And it’s easier to make her into one, through analyzing her psychology, than facing that it’s human beings who do terrible things.

Could not listen to it at all. The host keeps repeating herself, over and over they try to analyze the nurses background in an armchair psychologist way. Go listen to something better and don’t waste your time

NO. Killer Nurse ep.3, the expert nurse was so wrong.
Ugh. Hard to listen to.
10cc of air DOES NOT “cause a heart attack”.
She says bags of Potassium Chloride are lying around and being injected with Potassium Chloride. NS an KCl and “water” aren’t lying around? Nope.
Stopped listening and unsubscribed.

Apple Podcasts1liamyobUnited States3 months ago - Dr. Michelle Ward: Stop Editorializing!
I continue listening to the show because I find it interesting, but I can barely tolerate one thing. The host, Dr. Michelle Ward, frequently gives her gratuitous and often ingratiating opinions (especially when she is commending the police work). She egregiously editorializes (i.e. “Wow. She’s evil”) to the point where I’m almost ready to give up. Please stop. Telling the story in an unbiased way would make it so much more appealing.
