Es wird oft nach dem Motiv von diesem doctor gefragt.
Diese Frage empfinde ich als heuchlerisch.
Denn Dr. Shipman hat getötet, weil er Frauen hasste; speziell ältere Frauen.
Seine eigene Mutter hat sich missbräuchlich gegenüber ihrem eigenen Kind verhalten.
Die allermeisten Serienmörder hatten/ haben uebergriffige, dominante Mütter. Das ist wissenschaftlich bekannt.
Aus diesen missbrauchten Jungen werden Frauenhasser. Und manche werden Frauentöter.
Ich denke, dass Herr Shipman Medizin studiert hat, um so viele Frauen, als möglich, unauffällig, töten zu können.
Das Geld war ihm auch wichtig. Das gab's noch dazu.
Aber, an erster Stelle, das töten von Frauen. Das ging direkt los, als er sein Medizinstudium abgeschlossen hat.
Wobei auch niemand wirklich weiß, wann er mit dem töten von Frauen angefangen hat.
Most shockingly is that Shipman may have only been 3rd or 4th most prolific serial killers despite killing over 250 people.
"Mr's grundy died yesterday"….yea i could have told you a fortnight ago.🙈
There are a few dodgy doctors
Always trust yourself
nice
I believe I know his motivation for his killing sprees
Sadly he killed himself, it would have been so much better for him to rot in jail preferably solitary confinement..
A man ahead of his time, in today's era Keir would've made this man his top health advisor.
Shipman was clearly mentally imbalanced as no normal person being a doctor or not could ever have perpetrated such a huge number of individual and apparently unconnected murders. The failure of the health authorities and especially the police is staggering in the extreme. To have interviewed him at various times and to have not properly investigated all the available evidence is a complete failure of their public professional and moral duties and responsibilities. These people share responsibility for not stopping Shipman much earlier when clearly some deaths could have and should have been prevented. Now we use a different phrase; Trust me, I'm NOT a doctor!
Maybe he just got addicted to having the power of life and death over others
He was supplied with enough heroin to kill 360 people in one shipment 🤷🏼♀️ HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE
Under tires Theresa coffey murdered 1000s of brits using universal credit. There's even documents now of her telling staff to hide deaths and suicides due to her neglect. There is no difference from her and Harold shipman. Not one documentary has been made and all of these brits have been forgotten about. Shame on the uk a corrupt country that puts idi amin to shame.
The overbearing nature of his mother undoubtedly assed fuel to an emasculated upbrininging. I don’t have a a clinical degree, just a feeling.
Very well presented.
Frankly, how many deaths were there from the Covid vaccines? Millions for sure!!
I hate robotic voice videos full of stock video footage.
People need to realize, Dr. Shipman is not a good doctor!
I'm not even a doctor and I've not killed anyone!
Ship 'em off Man!
Doctor death and far to many innocent bodies…illegal heroine and opium.
Harold Shipman. Harold Shipman was a British doctor and one of the most prolific serial killers in modern history, convicted of murdering at least 15 patients, with estimates suggesting he may have killed up to 250.
Background
Harold Frederick Shipman was born on January 14, 1946, in Nottingham, England. He studied medicine at Leeds University and graduated in 1970. Initially, he worked as a general practitioner (GP) in various locations, including Todmorden and Hyde, Greater Manchester. Shipman was known for his charm and professionalism, which helped him build a loyal patient.
He should have been struck off in 1975. A nurse from that era certainly would have suffered that fate…
The footage is unrelated to the program, so you can safely close your eyes .
Couldn't listen to the narrator for more than 2mins
It is appalling that he was not struck off when his drug addiction was discovered
Great podcast, thank you. Bad enough what Shipman did to his victims, but add to that his wife Primrose claimimg the jewellery he stole from them as her own. What a vile, greedy pair of ghouls.
Q: How did Harold Shipman become one of the most prolific serial killers?
A: Because killing over 250 people requires a tremendous amount of patience (patients).
Mother's usually do have a close bond with newborns. They also choose their clothes as they are the ones who buy and pay for them. I don't know why you think to mention it🙄🙄
wonder how he is doing in prison,
He was my doctor, I would never have believed what was going on in his brain because he seemed such a nice and kind person and his wife was lovely this shocked me to the core my mum was also a patient of him but luckily not a victim
based,less white people
The Dr treated me a few times when I was small. My late dad remembered him as a competent Dr. Then he had that accident in the bathroom. After that, mum would always urge me to be careful when taking a bath –
"Remember what happened to that Dr".
THE LAST time I listen to this blog 😡😡😡 – MORE ADV THEN STORY 🤬🤬🤬
I think his motive might have been sexual, watching his mom dying in puberty with hormones raging made him associate death with orgasm. Just a guess anyway
One abortion doctor retired recently having killed 250,000 humans. It didn't even make the news.
I know a few people that i wish were his patients!!!
Do those who promote these useless bursts of music throughout programmes not realise that they
ruin the programmes by ‘shoving’ these musical burps in regardless of where they are inserted ?
It is thoughtless and of no value at all !!! They are not advertisements of any description and really
do spoil p😢programmes for the listener. Please stop doing it
