The Death Shift: Nurse Genene Jones and the Texas Baby Murders (Updated and Revised) (Elkind Peter)(Paperback)

Updated with dramatic developments and multiple new murder
charges--the classic account of arguably the most shocking and insidious
case in the history of medicine: the crimes of one nurse that were
hidden by a hospital for years. It's 1980, and Genene Jones is working the 3 to 11 PM shift in the
pediatric ICU in San Antonio's county hospital. As weeks go by, infants
under her care begin experiencing unexpected complications--and death--in
alarming numbers, prompting rumors that there is a murderer among the
staff. Her eight-hour shift came to be called "the death shift." This
strange epidemic continued unabated for more than a year, before Jones
was quietly sent off--with a good recommendation--to a rural pediatric
clinic. There, eight children under her care mysteriously stopped
breathing--and a 15-month-old baby girl died.
