Story
After his December 2003 arrest, registered nurse Charlie Cullen was quickly dubbed "The Angel of Death" by the media. But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favorite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.

He had been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia which is more commonly known as “the suicide disease” because the majority of the people who have the disease kill themselves. What all of the best medical experts didn't expect was the fact that Woody Overton and his family had absolute faith in Jesus Christ who has the final say in all things!

COVID-19 was used to launch the worst tyranny in American history, which we’re still facing even now. It was also the worst oppression in global history since the Third Reich. Just as that evil required a reckoning at Nuremberg, this one does as well. In this Nuremberg 2.0, we call witnesses that our elected representatives and law enforcement agents need to hear from in order to know the full extent of the evil and who is responsible for it—so that this never happens again.

As much of the world's population grows older, the quest for a "good death" has become a significant issue. For many, the right to die often means the right to die with dignity. The Inevitable moves beyond margins of the law to the people who are meticulously planning their final hours - far from medical offices, legislative chambers, hospital ethics committees, and polite conversation - and the people who help them, loved ones or clandestine groups on the Internet known as the "euthanasia underground".

Publisher's summary
You will hear about the bizarre conspiracy actions that were taken against Dr. Panini's professional career, personal life, and safety, with multiple murder attempts and fraudulent allegations by the legal, medical system ,all because he did the right thing. These mind boggling actions will amaze and astound you.
In 30 years, he never had a malpractice judgment or settlement against him, something few surgeons in this country can say. As you will learn, one of the lawyers mentioned in this book filed malicious, fraudulent malpractice actions against him for the same case three times, repeatedly alleging that he murdered his patient - despite having no evidence at all. You will learn about his multiple near-death experience and multiple attempts on his life. You will see the repercussions of the corruption within the judicial and medical hospital system, and a bizarre divorce like none you have ever encountered.
This book describes real events that have taken place, and as a listener, you will be enchanted with the drama, corruption, real life attempted murders witch will dazzle your mind and question how can this really happen. I can assure you that all the events in this book are true and captured for the challenge of the listeners' astonishment.
The legal and medical corruption at work in the United States is a contagion - an epidemic that affects every American citizen, in one way or another, every day. Lawyers are not policed by the American Bar Association, and they run rampant, injuring millions of Americans financially, emotionally, and professionally. The legal system needs a complete overhaul, which only Americans can do.

But days after the funeral, when Dr. MacNeill moved his much younger mistress into the family home, his children grew suspicious.

Story
The opioid epidemic has been described as "one of the greatest mistakes of modern medicine." But calling it a mistake is a generous rewriting of the history of greed, corruption, and indifference that pushed the US into consuming more than 80 percent of the world's opioid painkillers. Journeying through lives and communities wrecked by the epidemic, Chris McGreal reveals not only how Big Pharma hooked Americans on powerfully addictive drugs but the corrupting of medicine and public institutions that let the opioid makers get away with it.

i know the author
all of the content is full of Discrepancies and lies. He has a lot of gaps in the story and what really sickens me is that there's a woman in jail because of him. How sad that a medical doctor uses his power to bully and manipulate the truth
