23 Medical Professionals Who Were Actually Murderers

Linda Burfield Hazzard

Linda Hazzard was an American doctor during the early 20th century who promoted fasting as a treatment for all ailments. As a result, more than 40 patients died of starvation at her sanitarium in Washington, dubbed "Starvation Heights" by the locals. She was eventually convicted of manslaughter in 1912 and served two years in prison. In 1938 she died of starvation herself.
