Definition
- Medical murders are criminal homicides committed by physicians, nurses, or other members of the medical profession. A single murder carried out by a medical professional may be categorized as a medical murder; the serial murderer who kills within the confines of a hospital, nursing home, or private practice is an even larger menace to both patients and society.
