Making A Medical Murderer with Dr. Brent Furbee
Join Dan (@drusyniak) &Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they speak with Dr. Brent Furbee about Orville Lynn Majors, Jr. a nurse serial killer who was convicted of the murder of 7 patients, but was likely involved in countless others. Find out why nurses know, doctors deny, and administrators push back. Learn why bolus potassium is like a Japanese train during rush hour, find out our favorite physician killers, and why Dan is now heretofore known as “675”. . .
