We started writing this as part of a '5 Killer Drs & Nurses' episode but there was just so much to the story! I hope we did it justice.

I’m so angry that she got to enjoy her old age, unlike her elderly victims who she thought were “a burden on society”.

What a psychopath! I'm a retired RN. On one occasion I was assigned a patient who had been my preceptor immediately after nursing school. The woman was not good to me. Later I learned she was in the midst of a divorce. Having been through one myself I knew how it distorts your perception of present events. Instead of stirring up bad things, I think my assignment of her became a healing point for both of us. If we desire mercy & forgiveness for ourselves, we must show mercy & forgiveness towards others.

I know this isn't the main topic but it's pretty terrifying to think orphans could just be written off into jobs without pay, for years, and should be 'grateful.' I dread to think the levels of abuse...

As a retired physician there is nothing more hideous than the betrayal of a patient’s trust. We encounter people at their most vulnerable and they trust us with the most precious gift of all, their life. The most important part of the Hippocratic oath…Help or do no harm…must always be upheld. A healthcare worker that harms a patient is worse than an officer of the law that becomes corrupt.<br>This episode anger and disgusted me more than any other of your episodes. You hit a nerve this time!

Jane Toppan seems more like a narcissist than anything else. It seems that she considered herself superior to everyone else and believed she could lie her way out of every situation.

The fact that she had a cheerful nature somehow makes it more perplexing and bizarre.

The REAL scary thing, is not those that was caught like this, but the idea of so many that must have lived their life, and kept killing, with nobody ever suspecting them or nothing causing them to be caught... 😞

As an RN for many decades this story disgusted me beyond belief. Such amoral people going into the field of caring for humanity.

They rarely see themselves as a psycho. It’s a good thing they didn’t let her out. <br>Thank you for another great episode!

Truly horrifying. How easily she went undetected for so long. I can quite believe the number of victims she quoted.

It amazes me that she got away with the murders for so long.
