Description
As the director of the NJ Poison System for almost 50 years, Dr Steven Marcus had the unusual experience of dealing with multiple cases involving murder, attempted murder and even, most astoundingly, perhaps the greatest serial medical murderer of all time, Charles Cullen. Never being trained in this aspect, Dr Marcus had to learn on the job who and how to report suspicions and work against a system that is reluctant, for many reasons, to accept the fact that health care providers can also be criminals. Responding to such criminals is a systemic problem, and needs to be approached as such. There are many people that can and should be able to observe and report a potential problem. Dr Marcus’s experiences demonstrate these elements. He suggests an approach to the recognition and reporting.
