Alright without further a due lets get started on our list of the top 5 doctos caught doing
horrible things
Coming in at our number 5 spot--Henry Howard Holmes- now some of you may have heard this
mans name before has he has been deemed one of the first noted serial killers.
Henry was a physician back in the 1800s. in 1893 this physician decided to get into real
estate and opened up a hotel.
Now to the outside person Henry just looked like he has a lot of ambition.
And he did but he geared it towards his killer fantasies.
The first floor of the hotel was a pharmacy and some shops.
Innocent enough.
However it was the higher floors you had to worry about.
Henry had designed hundreds of windowless rooms- staircases that lead nowhere and only
he knew the buildings layout.
He would lock guests in soundproof rooms and would kill each person in a specific way.
After killing them he dropped there bodies down a chute that ended in his basement laboratory.
It was down there he would remove their organs and arrange their bones into skeletal models-
which he sold to medical schools.
A year later in 1894 Henry was apprehended.
He confessed to 27 murders however the real body count is estimated to be around 200.
In at number 4--Henry Cotton- weve come across another Henry- this one was a medical director
at a psychiatric hospital between 1907 to 1930.
He believed that the cause of his patients insanity was untreated infections in their
bones.
So he began to just cut them open- with no pain killers mind you.
He would start out with their teeth because he thought they were harbouring infections.
if the patient still wasn’t cured..which none of them would be since his theory was
ridiculous- he would move onto their tonsils and then there testicles- cervixes- colons-
stomachs- ovaries and spleens.
Since he didn’t use antibiotics his patients would die from surgery caused infections.
But due to fraudulent paper work claiming that the cure rate was at 85 percent these
treatments continued on for many years.
Coming in at number 3--Walter Freeman- Walter with the help of his neurosurgeon James Watts
preformed hundreds of frontal lobe lobotomies with a metal pick.
And clearly this is something he wasn’t suppose to be doing.
He would actually induced seizures in his patients by using electricity.
He found this was the easiest way to operate on them.
Once they were out he would take the pick and sever connections to the prefrontal cortex.
James eventually stopped working for Walter because his methods became to cruel to stand
by, but Walter continued his work and would go on to preform thousands of lobotomies.
After many of his patients died from his questionable methods Walter was banned from preforming
surgery.
In at number 2--Carl Clauberg- Carl was a doctor in the nazi concentration camps.
Carl thought he could solve the Nais biggest problem by sterilising the Jewish race out
of extinction.
And in his eyes he had an endless number of test subjects at his finger tips.
He would take the Jewish women and eject there uteruses with formaldehyde.
During the injections no aesthetic was given and the women were all developing infections.
Its estimated that he performed this treatment on over 700 women.
Most of them died but some lived.
However Those who survived suffered permanent damage and were sterilised for life.
When the Red Army were approaching Carl fled to another concentration camp in Ravensbruck
where he continued his horrifying experiment on the Romani women.
Shortly after he was captured.
And at number 1--Farid Fata- This doctor thought it would be a good idea to lie to 500 people
and tell them they were sick and going to die soon.
Of course this was all a lie he made up so he could cash in on their treatments.
He misdiagnosed hundreds of healthy patients with various deadly diseases.
He would make them suffer through rounds of chemo and radiation.
His lies gained him millions of dollars.
He would tell his apparent terminally ill patients that their treatments were working
so they would keep paying him.
However these once healthy people began to suffer the side effects of the unnecessary
cancer treatments.
Their teeth began to fall out as well as their hair and they would constantly be trembling.
And there you have it that’s our lsit of the top 5 doctors caught doing horrible things.
Thank you guys for watching and ill catch you in the next one.
