Ep 99 - The Good Nurse Part 2

The Deadly Dose

In today's episode, Harini reviews the new Netflix documentary Capturing the Killer Nurse, a supplement to the streaming platform's recently released The Good Nurse. Both films depict the actions and eventual capture of serial killer Charles Cullen, and how the self-interest of healthcare employers and prioritization of hospital reputations ultimately prolonged his arrest and put patients at risk. Harini provides a play-by-play of how the documentary compares to the dramatized version of this tragic story.

In today's episode, Harini provides a play-by-play of The Good Nurse, Netflix's recent true-crime biopic that details the harrowing story of nurse Amy Loughren who became a confidential informant for the New Jersey Police Department in their efforts to catch serial killer Charles Cullen. Cullen was a nurse who moved discreetly within the healthcare industry for 16 years before being caught for poisoning and murdering patients. As Part I, this episode will cover the film adaptation of this incredible story. Stay tuned for Part II which will shed more light on the events that occurred in real life.
