Welcome to The Medicine Murders, the podcast where true crime meets pharmacology.

In this episode, we unravel the horrifying case of Dr. Harold Shipman—a trusted physician who became one of history’s most prolific serial killers. Over two decades, Shipman used his medical authority to quietly take the lives of at least 215 patients, exploiting the very trust that defines the doctor-patient relationship.

How did he get away with it for so long? What finally exposed him? And how did the drug he used—morphine—become both a life-saving medicine and a silent weapon?

After diving into the shocking details of his crimes, we shift gears to Talk Nerdy and explore: 🔬 How morphine works and its medical uses 💊 The dangers of opioid overdose ⚠️ The role of pharmacists in preventing prescription abuse 🚔 The safeguards in place to track controlled substances

If you love true crime with a scientific twist, don’t miss this deep dive into medical murder and the drugs that made it possible.
