Male Nurse Kills Over 30 While Demonstrating Resuscitation Skills

What a brutal way to carry out resuscitation skills! A male nurse chose a cruel method of demonstrating his resuscitation skills causing the deaths of no fewer than 30 patients, Oldenburg, northern Germany.
Niels H, suspected of killing as many as 178, tells court psychiatrist he wanted to show off his resuscitation skills. 

The man, identified only as Niels H, deliberately gave patients heart medicine in quantities greater than were recommended by doctors to show his reanimation skills. The terrifying deaths of at least 30 persons came to light after Niels was accused of three murders and two attempted murders in September. 

During a psychiatric assessment he suddenly had confessed to up to 30 killings. Explaining his actions, he said that he was trying to find gratitude and admiration by saving people from the brink of death. 

Luckily, sixty other patients survived the attacks, which happened between 2003 and 2005. Niels has already serving a 7,5 years prison sentence since 2008 for attempted murder, his sentence will be reviewed as investigation continues. 

This is not the first time when nurses make use of their patients’ vulnerability, earlier this year an Italian nurse was arrested on suspicion of killing 38 terminal patients as she had found them or their families annoying.
