Dr. Virginia Soares de Souza was charged with
murder. According to a Health Ministry investigator, the Brazilian doctor has
killed seven patients from a hospital intensive care unit just to free up hospital
beds.
The medical team who worked with De Souza includes
three other doctors, three nurses, and a physiotherapist were also charged with
murder.
Prosecutors said Dr. De Souza and her medical team
administered muscle relaxant drugs (like Pancuronium) so to increase patient’s
dependence on artificial respiration then they will reduce the oxygen supply
which can cause death by asphyxia.
A voice recorder was released as a proof to the
murder case of De Souza, “I want to clear the intensive care unit. It’s making
me itch.” She also added, “Unfortunately, our mission is to be go-between on
the springboard to the next life.”
According to prosecutors, De Souza might kill more
than 300 patients since the last seven years in the hospital where she headed
the intensive care unit.
