Although most of the patients killed were elderly, the youngest was aged 41. His classic modus operandi was to use a lethal dose of opioids during home visits, complete the death certificate, and falsify his medical records. Early in his career, he was charged with forging meperidine prescriptions. Harold Shipman was a family physician in England who killed approximately 250 patients over a 27-year period. To my knowledge, there are no articles in the family medicine literature on this topic. The Wettlaufer inquiry recommends that health professionals be aware of HCSM and that they should consider the possibility when unusual clinical events occur. 2 Further, HCSM happens in outpatient, home care, and hospital settings, all places where family physicians provide important care roles. 5 Also, LTC facilities are an increasingly common location for these crimes, and medical care in LTC homes is usually provided by family physicians. 4 Although seemingly distant from the world of family medicine, some of the most prolific serial murderers have been family physicians. The literature is mostly case analyses, 2, 3 but government inquiries in several countries augment the academic literature. The coverage of the Wettlaufer case made me consider, “Could this happen here?” This topic has limited academic focus, maybe because it is a topic we do not like to consider. I became interested in this subject because I had a leadership role in patient safety for several vulnerable populations.
