Executive produced by FirstLookTV’s Creative Director Rachel Bowering, Murder by Medic unpacks shocking cases in which doctors, nurses, dentists, and psychologists have betrayed the Hippocratic Oath. Each episode reconstructs a different case, using forensic evidence, motive, and psychological profiling to uncover the chilling truth behind each medical killer.

The series features deeply personal interviews with the victims’ families, investigative insights, expert commentary, and rare video and audio recordings—delivering a comprehensive, haunting exploration of healthcare professionals who chose to harm rather than heal.
