[@mandyellis876]

The hospitals who suspected he was harming patients and failed to disclose their suspicions, should be held culpable for enabling him.

[@kes78]

Very much like Lucy Letby, she is so "normal" it's frightening. There's something about this guys eyes though he's too quiet .

[@alextijerina1284]

@mandyellis876. You still have to have hard proof and/or get sued. It is a Catch 22. You just can't make it on speculation.

[@nathanurick8320]

I’m sure lawsuits have been filed against them and will win

[@anneheimburger3186]

I think the hospitals were quiet about the killings because they were worried that they themselves would be sued.

[@dianealarcon8304]

His demeanor is still Nothingness.

[@marrtianchronicles5702]

Amazing! He tried to “commit suicide” over 20 times but failed but was more than capable of taking other people’s lives with his medical knowledge. I don’t think he seriously tried to take his own life, just a way of garnering sympathy from his therapists and keep on killing.

[@kaidiver4306]

HANDS DOWN, I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!

[@utubefreshie]

You would think his disturbing history would've turned up on a background check. There's some jobs that need a thorough psychological background check because it literally spells life or death for the people they work with. This guy had no business being anywhere near the healthcare field. Would've been better off being declared mentally ill and just being on some type of welfare rather than working with other people. Ironically, now he's in prison and will be a ward of the state for the rest of his life. For certain people like him, the death penalty makes a lot of sense.

[@13donstalos]

That's a good point. He proved that he could do it, clearly he didn't want to die that bad.

[@Bettinasisrg]

Some psychologists believe suicide and homicide are very closely related for people that attempt or talk about suicide a lot. Most spree killers have attempted suicide and other killers. If you research these killers it's true! True suicidal people just do it sadly.

They traced down the van he used to assault her and take her life years later in an old field that he sold to a florist company and found a single strand of my aunts hair in his van. It took them 1 month to solve a case that had been cold for 10+ years.

Bless you for taking care of some of the most vulnerable people. Nurses are the backbone of the medical profession. I have been in hospital more than 50 times and have had to have complicated surgery and have spent as much as 2 months per stay. The nurses made my recovery possible after the surgeon’s exceptional performance. The nurses got me through. Bless you. Much love and respect.

[@minomokwa744]

Those crimes could never happen (just like with Lucy Letby who was suspected to be a killer if proper action would have followed) but responsible people in the Hospital did not want to investigate. He is a disgusting killer who found pleasure in hurting not only the victims but their families.

This will keep happening until the spineless bosses of hospitals are held accountable. We just had one of these in the UK, a nurse killing babies, there were many complaints about her by other nurses but the hospital bosses did nothing. I should imagine these spineless maggots will resign on full pension, no consequences at all.

[@chrisdurham1144]

He's a complex person. I stopped a first person shooter right before the event, and it was like looking at an overlay of an image of two different people: an outer shell that was trying to play off my suspicions, and an inner and endless rage that he was trying to conceal but didn't have enough self-control to conceal it.

[@thatllputmarzipaninyourpie3117]

In the mid 80's when I was 13 I was molested by a nurse on a night shift. The day before I had had a bad reaction to anesthesia and hallucinated some odd things. The nurse told me the next night after he did what he did that no one would believe me because of what had happened the day before. I was discharged the next morning and never said a word about it to anyone. Later in adulthood, I regretted not saying anything because I'm sure he hurt others after that, but at the time I just wanted to block it from my mind. When I think about it now, I still get the same cold dead chill going through my body that I got while it was happening.

We want to keep our standard of care high. We're proud surgeons want their patients on our unit. Most of our patients aren't aware of the care they receive from us, and we keep it a sacred honor. They are at our mercy, angels of mercy. This man is not a nurse, he's a psychopath. And if he truly wanted to commit suicide, he definitely could have.

Cullen is not as dumb as he tries to pretend. He is crafty and sharp. Vindictive and retaliatory. In his own words, he blames each hospital for NOT catching him. Every single one, including Somerset, which allowed him to work one day more before firing him. So, it's not his fault, it's the fault of the HOSPITALS for not catching him. And who tries to commit suicide 20x and never succeeds? A psychopath who projects himself as the biggest victim of all. I've read accounts of people who died, went to hell, then came back. NDEs. Cullen's smugness is going to be burned out of him.

She kept encouraging me to take it while she was with me but I refused saying I would take it that night after eating dinner. She finally left and I called the hospitals risk manager who came and took the medication and verified my file was clearly marked with my penicillin allergy and that the ex-husbands new wife had signed out the medication.

This happened because health care is a business in his country. The police were not called in to investigate because the negative press would result in people avoiding the hospital resulting in lost revenue. I think people from those institutions should also be in court on charges as they in reality were allowing him to keep on killing. We have just had a nurse killer of babies being sentenced in court in the UK. The hospital informed the police of their suspicions and it took them a while to get enough evidence to arrest her. Every case like this is a learning experience for both the police and hospital management and colleagues. An absolute nightmare for everyone involved. As a nurse I find such cases deeply disturbing.

Hi @Roemic-hd9pn. I’m an RN, MSN neuro. My undergrad rotation in a burn unit was so emotionally devastating to me. I have such respect for nurses who work on burn units. I worked on an AIDS unit, too, in New Haven, CT Before that, I worked in Calif, in an oncology unit. We had Caposi sarcoma, and MAC tuberculosis patients, and so little was known, beyond high-risk groups. It wasn’t called AIDS back then. It was called HTLV-3. Do you remember that? Of course you remember when AIDS was a death sentence. We seldom saw someone live six months post-diagnosis. Now, it’s a chronic condition and persons with AIDS can live normal lifespans. Such progress we have seen! Hasn’t it been such an honour to be an RN during the time we practiced? It also takes a special nurse to work ER. I could not do it. I need to have a sense of knowing for what I need to be prepared. G-d bless you for doing what many of us cannot do. I’d do a nervous wreck working ER, lol!

(Patients CAN be difficult, but they come with the job, they are sufferring to various extents, and, many times, as Ive seen, they are treated rudely, or disrespectfully by someone, on the staff. That was it for him. Revenge. For me, when a patient was rude to me, spitting, trying to hit, talkung nasty, it became a CHALLENGE for me to get ten to trust ME, and like me.

Number one, it's bizarre and unacceptable that he was even accepted into a pre-nursing student arena, with a psychiatric record a mile long! No one can be mentally unstable and go into a nursing program and then continue on into the world at large trying to help heal and care for patients, regardless of whether or not they are critical in status or their illnesses are indeed benign! I was in a Bachelor of Science Nursing Program at Indiana University - Southeast, in the '90s, and I vividly remember the Dean of Nursing weeding-out pre-nursing students from the program for very minor infractions; like bad hygiene, for example! Yes! They literally expelled a pre-nursing student who didn't brush his teeth and smelled bad when he came to class! So to justify allowing this man into a nursing program, who was repeatedly suicidal and had multiple psychological and emotional disorders and illnesses, is TOTALLY MIND-BOGGLING to this retired nurse; to say the least!! Furthermore, it wasn't just the hospitals that failed all of the murdered, deceased patients and their families, AND society at large, as this was also A HUMONGOUS FAILURE AT THE MOST BASIC LEVEL; THE LEVEL OF COLLEGE NURSING STUDIES!! 🤦🏼‍♀️💔
