Dr. Shipman Case Summary

All the victims died in the afternoon and some died within an hour of a house call by Dr. Shipman, which established another pattern set by Harold Shipman. Dr. Shipman proceeded further by forging death certificates and orchestrated his colleagues approving forged cremation forms for the victims. All victims were cremated, which destroyed the evidence for law enforcement to be able to recover if needed. He was under the suspicion of murder but was never informed to stop practicing during any investigations or allegations (Daily mail.com). The British law enforcement officials never arrested Dr. Shipman

On February 11, 2003, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the State of Arkansas could force death row prisoner Charles Laverne Singleton to take antipsychotic drugs to make him sane enough to execute. Singleton was to be executed for felony capital murder but became insane while in prison (Kaczynski, 2011). However, this touches on the legal and ethical issues of a patient’s competence, autonomy, and insight as well as the physician’s responsibility to uphold the American Medical Association’s Code of Ethics which states "a physician, as a member of a profession dedicated to preserving life when there is hope of doing so, should not be a participant in a legally authorized execution” (Eisenberg, 2004). By giving the antipsychotic medication to Mr. Singleton, the physician would be indirectly participating in his execution, which would violate the Code of Ethics. This is why it is not legally or morally appropriate to medicate a prisoner to make him well enough to execute.

Section 6(1) states: “Except as authorized under the regulations, no person

On March 1, 2016 at approximately 09:30 AM, Jacklyn Thomas was at the Muskogee County District Court House in reference to a review hearing.

In my opinion, Dr. Shipman motive for his murders was to be in control of people's lives, especially the elderly. He gave his patient a sense of friendship(The Irish Time, 2017). According to the Biography of Harold Shipman, it states "he was fascinated by the positive effects of administration of morphine had on his mother during her suffering. In doing such, I believe in his thinking, he was helping his patients by relieving them of their pain. Dr. Shipman, also realize that his patients trust him and there was a close friendship outside of his doctor hour. For instance, Kathleen Grundy a wealthy 81-year-old widow, who Dr. Shipman made after hour doctor visit. was taken for grant. In his effort, he took her for grant and forge her name to

In the context of Case Study #1, the doctor must decide on whether or not he will hasten the woman’s death to alleviate her pain; he must decide whether or not there is a moral difference between killing someone and hastening their death to relieve suffering. The woman described has a continuously declining and invariably fatal

In the Johnson case, Mr. Johnson and his son, Sam went shopping and were falsely accused of stealing. They went to the mall and then directly to Target after the mall. After adding multiple items to the shopping cart, the previous items bought got mixed in with the items to be purchased. Upon leaving Target, Mr. Johnson was approached by a security guard who loudly accused Mr. Johnson of stealing. The security guard was loud enough for others to hear him. He also roughly pulled on Mr. Johnson’s arm telling him to go with the store manager or he would call the police. It took two hours for the store manager to prove Mr. Johnson did not steal the video game and the figurine.

When discussing Dr. Harold Frederick Shipman case the speculation continues even today about the amount of patient was murder by him. Essentially, when people talk about the Dr. Shipman case it is a unique one of its own and many is always amused where the origin of that kind of behavior comes from. Nevertheless, Dr. Harold Frederick Shipman was known as the worst serial killer in British history when comes to the amount of victims. He killed at least 215 patients and it is believed he started committing these murders since his early to mid-twenties of age while he was still attending his last year of medical training. He was born in Nottingham and known to have a distant relationship with his father, but had a very close and intimate relationship with his mother. Furthermore, his mother died when he was seventeen and never saw Dr. Shipman complete medical school. Thus, his mother die of cancer, but leading up to her death he spent countless hours visualizing the pain and suffering his

Dr. Holt was using Dr. Willis Stone’s rubber signature stamp to submit his own medical entries. Dr. Stone did not know that this was happing and did not countersign any of the entries. Dr. Holt is not a certified doctor, yet and is therefore not allowed to submit them without a countersign, according to the CMS Interpretive Guidelines for Hospitals (482.24(c)(1)(I)). Dr. Holt was also committing forgery in the first degree.

The client was administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2nd Edition-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) as an objective measure of their social-emotional and personality functioning. The scores are based on answers to a large number of true/false questions. Based on Mr. Cintron’s responses, this protocol was invalid and uninterpretable due to inconsistent responding. There was evidence of excessive inconsistency because of fixed true responding to the test item.

As the lead prosecutor in Dr. Shipman’s murder trial some things should’ve taken place sooner but didn’t. One leading factor of evidence was that all of the victims died in the afternoon and they all were injected with morphine. So there was a link in the timing and having the same doctor and the same drugs in their system at the time of death. If the authorities would have taken a look at some of the prescriptions that he wrote to detect if there was any similarities with each victim could’ve potentially been contributing factors linking Dr. Shipman to their deaths.

As the lead investigator, the biggest part of this case was when the Undertaker began to get concerned when he noticed that Dr. Shipman’s patients were dying at an unusually high rate and arriving with the same poses. The Undertaker first decided to confront Dr. Shipman about the concerns that he had with the high-rate of deaths coming in the morgue. Dr. Shipman informed the undertaker that there was nothing to be concerned about because he would not do anything wrong. As the investigator, I would have looked at Dr. Shipman history and questioned why he was in drug rehabilitation. As the lead law enforcement investigator, in this case, there was other evidence that was overlooked such as excessive amounts of morphine missing from the medical

I feel that Dr. P has a case in this situation. I feel he has the ability to sue for compensatory damages. I would argue that Dr. P is a public figure. As you said he is the foremost academic on exposure to violence and the human psyche. Since he is a public figure and his work is important to public interest. Because of this we have to prove malice. In this case we also have to determine how defamation of DR. P is present. We have to answer how his reputation is being harmed, how his standing in the community is being harmed.
