[@passionofcrime9273]

I have lived in Grantham my entire life, and was actually in the hospital when I was a baby after having fluid drained from my knee. Allitt was the nurse of duty several times and apparently tried to persuade my nana to go home and rest on several occasions, but my nana never left me alone, she always said “that woman gave me the creeps, so I wasn’t going anywhere” My Nan even slept in my cot with me and took me to the bathroom with her. This haunts our town, and the building these murders took place in is now closed and looks creepy as hell when you drive past….

[@scarlettroses5136]

in another documentary, the hospital noticed it was weird after the first couple of deaths but it is really hard to investigate someone who is working in a hospital because of the fact that they have access to their victim

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

That’s why we have M&Ms To investigate what has gone wrong in a case and how it could have been prevented. Because even if you try your hardest and do everything 99% right one little mistake can have major catastrophic consequences, so we constantly go over things and who was at fault and what systems we have in place to do better. It’s very systematic

i don’t think i truly understood the “how can you hurt a baby” thing until my kid siblings were born. like they are literally everything to me in a way nobody has been in my whole life. the only reason i’m alive today is because i didn’t want my baby brother to grow up without me and the idea of hurting such small children is so wild

No, the hospital has innocent blood in thier hands, they knew she was not good as a nurse, imagine if it was your child who died in the hands of this monster and it could have been prevented!

The second you said they put her in the children's ward, I JUMPED out of my chair and started yelling. That was the WORST mistake they could've made. If she was suspected of doing all that stuff living with her coworkers, they should've never let her near a defenseless child. She knew they couldn't snitch. She knew they couldn't fight back. She knew she could do whatever she wanted. What a sick human being, but the people who made the executive decision to put her there, are careless too. Ughhhh I'm so maddddd Edit: I have 3 kids, my oldest died of SIDS, and my third son was in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for two weeks. I'm so enraged that she put even the slightest doubt in my head with the nurses that cared for my children when I was not able to be there. This is such a disgusting person.

[@TheScarletAlchemist]

Personally, I have a hard time understanding how someone with munchausen can get so much medical attention, but that's because I've always had a lot of health problems that were mostly dismissed. I just can't understand how this chick managed to get an organ removed when there wasn't a problem, and yet it takes a lot of time for many people with physical conditions to even find a doctor who will listen. I get that the mind can trick the body into acting a certain way, but I think that's only if the person truly believes that they have that issue. Just seems so strange to me

[@kimberlyoldschool]

From what little I know of Munchausen’s, people who suffer this mental illness are not like a person who has health problems and is frustrated in getting help. They make getting medical attention their entire purpose in life AND they will fake symptoms by any means necessary to support their view of themselves as being special and deserving special treatment. They will take or do things to make themselves sick; they will go to doctor after doctor after doctor; they will learn all the lingo and will seize on the smallest indicators; they will craft their entire personality as being “sick” so that all the people around them believe it; they will use wheelchairs and braces and crutches even if they don’t need them; on and on and on. They suck up a LOT of medical resources because they just won’t stop, they pick up on gullible or sympathetic doctors, and they’ll make themselves sick with substances, lack of eating, etc to be as convincing as possible. Frankly, it’s sociopathic; they get their way by being willing to lie relentlessly.

[@VioletJoy]

Right? My daughter and I both have a genetic disorder that causes chronic fatigue, among many other things. It's not yet understood in the medical field, so it's really hard to get a formal diagnosis. I've lost count of how many doctors completely dismissed my symptoms as if I didn't say anything or was exaggerating, yet she is set up for SURGERY due to her complaints. 😳

[@VioletJoy]

So sorry to hear about your health problems. It's not fun at all.

[@TheScarletAlchemist]

@@kimberlyoldschool I guess it's just hard for me to fully grasp the concept because I always have a lot of problems, so I've never been one to fake sick because I'm likely to actually get sick during that time. It's like how some kids fake sick to get out of school, and that's a common trope. A lot of people expect a kid to fake sick at least once during childhood, but then there are those of us who just were sick too often to tempt the fates. It's hard for both ends of the spectrum to fully understand each other. From the false illness/injury side, the view tends to be "my issue is more important than yours, even if they're the same." Whereas with the always sick side, the view tends to be “I dobt even say I’m sick until I’m sure so I don’t bring it upon myself.” Like, I know how they do it but I still couldn’t imagine faking sickness/injury, but maybe that’s also from growing up with a lot of dismissed/unrecognized problems.

[@TheScarletAlchemist]

@@VioletJoy Ugh, it's so much worse when chronic fatigue is one of your main problems. I've got fatigue too and didn't even know that I have multiple conditions contributing to it until a few years ago. I'm still not sure how I managed to graduate from high school because those years were some of the worst for my fatigue, and I was basically anchored to my bed (aside from going to school). And ofc I didn't know what was going on, so everyone just thought I was lazy and shit like that. Fatigue is a SERIOUSLY underestimated symptom. But yeah, I feel you on that. I'm still not fully diagnosed (because American healthcare system), and I still don't understand how someone I know has gone through so many doctors giving so many different opinions on something that might just be munchausen (and I don't like to doubt the symptoms of others).

[@meep_murp8758]

I was counting the syringes, because for some reason I didn't trust this woman. I told her that she's not giving my son anything and we left. This is after I asked her why there was an extra syringe and she admitted to it. Nope.. because I don't know which syringe it is, and I no longer trust that office. I doubt anything happened, because the pediatrician acted like it was nothing important.. F that.

I know you say her childhood was "fine" but if Beverley was self-harming for years, /obviously/ too, and her parents didn't notice, it makes me think she was neglected, purposefully or not. there's no way a child can have so many sick days, fake her own illnesses at her school, and constantly appear injured without someone thinking there was something wrong... EVERYONE failed her in her early life. its not an excuse for her murders of course but it is completely unnatural for a child to develop such severe mental health issues with no "obvious" cause, and it's very weird to me that it was never questioned or investigated.

The thing with the appendicitis at 15:24 - you don't usually scan the patients who come to you with acute pain, the diagnosis is mostly clinical. Imaging is done only when the patient presents with inconclusive clinical features. So Beverly pretty much faked her pain throughout her physical exam and convinced the a&e staff and since it's a surgical emergency she was able to get away with it.

[@mykarma4345]

But she still had to have raised leukocytes on blood screening. Which must be done for pre operative anesthesia assessment as well.

[@risperidont]

@@mykarma4345 true, I'm not sure about the pre-op assessments during the time this took place, they probably proceeded with the surgery despite a normal count. Was Alvarado score a thing back then?

[@annoyedkitten4964]

I only had appendicitis a few month ago, and they had another patient in my room who had a way less acute case, but they where still doing the operation, because the doctor said, once it's irritated once, it will become irritated again and even if we can calm the infection now, we'll just have to take it out later. She did have inflammation markers, but rather low ones. So if that's the stance even now, I can totally see someone 40 years or whatever ago faking it enough for them to do an operation, when the testing was not quite as accurate as it is now.

[@Rebma7420]

The attending Dr declared appendicitis within seconds of seeing me...

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

@@annoyedkitten4964 Yeah in the past they were much more likely to just take it out - nowadays they are far more likely to use watchful waiting on low-grade symptoms and oral/iv antibiotics, whereas back then (I was born in the late 70s) things were very very different. Every appendectomy was big surgery too, keyhole surgery wasn't a thing when I was a kid, and they treated an "acute abdomen" very definitively. At the time, the thinking was it's better to remove a healthy appendix than miss a bad one and end up with peritonitis. The incision would have been several inches long too, and much easier to get infected or post-op complications. A friend of mine had her appendix out when I was... I think 14? She was in the hospital for over a week. My MOTHER had her appendix out when she was a child in the fifties, and she only had that done using chloroform as the anaesthetic, too.

A nurse almost killed me when I was very young by turning off the machine keeping me alive. By the time I was found I was unconscious and having seizures. She claimed it was an accident and I don't think got into trouble for it, but I've always wondered if it could have been a situation like this where she did it on purpose. It would have been very clear on my notes not to turn the machine off. Think it would have been in the same year as Beverley Allitt's crimes too (definitely wasn't her though)

[@sinkingfeeeling]

Just a personal anecdote 15 mins into the video: When I was 16/17 in the early 2010s I ended up in hospital with horrible abdominal pains that they thought could be appendicitis. They did a blood test and a urine test which didn’t say anything weird but by the end of the day they’d sent two surgeons in to prep me for an appendectomy. I was super scared of surgery so I feigned recovery and they sent me home lol (still don’t know what it was but I didn’t die, maybe period pain but I haven’t had it that bad since or prior to that) So really just pain in that general area seems to be the only condition needed to take your appendix out.

[@JessicaSmith-of7mw]

I’m so glad this has been covered. I grew up in Grantham, and went to school with 2 people who were related to her victims. Kids at school used to always talk about how if you end up in the hospital and you’ve been naughty, there was a bad nurse who’d kill you. 💀 Luckily, whilst Grantham hospital is a bit naff and hasn’t been fully operational for the last almost decade, almost all of the staff are absolutely brilliant, and have saved my life 4 times. ✨

This is the one of the saddest cases I’ve heard of an angel of death primarily because they’re young children. It’s so horrible hearing about their age’s being just a few weeks or months. Not even walking or talking age, not old enough to understand what the hell would be going on.

When I got my appendix out, the doctor told me that, at the time, it was typically a 50/50 chance for women that it was appendicitis and that they wouldn't know until they removed it, so they tended to do so as a precaution if someone had the symptoms of appendicitis. That may no longer be the case - my appendectomy was around 1995 - in a hospital where they hadn't even started doing it laparoscopically yet; I have the old-fashioned incision scar.

[@jaylow3164]

Did they use staples on your incision? Is that what you mean by old fashioned?

[@clairepettie]

@@jaylow3164 No staples. The doctors _did_ use the "newly available" surgery glue stuff😆, and said to be really careful while it healed under some tape. I was referring to my incision size and location. Most people who had the surgery in the years following mine had a laparoscopic procedure. (Meaning instead of making one incision on the abdomen right over the appendix - like they did on me - the surgeon would use three tiny incisions hidden just under the belly button and in the crease of the pelvis to insert small surgical tools and a small camera for the procedure. Doing it laparoscopically usually means there's less time needed for recovery and no giant scar post-op.)
