Swango - a Story We Should Never Forget


Many MSPs are familiar with the book Blind Eye by James Stewart about a physician, Michael Swango.  If you have not read this book, you'll want to pick up a copy to learn more about why our jobs are so important to patient safety. 

Mr. Stewart reports the allegations that caused many to believe that Michael Swango may be the most prolific serial killer in American history.  The story is of particular interest to MSPs who investigate applicants for medical staff membership, privileges, and participation in health plans.  Learn how Swango's behavior was not discovered before he committed murder and poisoned coworkers. 

After reading Blind Eye, you'll wonder if you would have uncovered Swango's incompetence, misconduct and criminal behavior.
