Not all representatives of the noblest profession adhere to the Hippocratic oath, which they give at the dawn of their careers.
Some harm patients with their inaction, delayed treatment, random errors. However, there are doctors who deliberately set up deadly experiments on people, guided by perverted ideas that everything can be done for the sake of science, or with their crazy fantasies.
History has brought to us the names of criminal doctors who have become famous for their terrifying deeds. Most-Beauty.ru has prepared for you a short review of eleven well-known doctors who conducted terrible experiments on their patients.
1
Guy Fresan Fagon
The courtiers from the entourage of Sun King Louis XIV were not unreasonably afraid of his personal doctor, who not only kept track of the health of the task, but helped eliminate competitors.
Thanks to his "healing" many royal relatives passed away. For that, Guy-Fresan Fagon was called the "killer of princes." His main medical technique was bloodletting. The doctor used it so often that his patients were dying of bleeding.

Robert Knox
A surgeon from Scotland, who practiced in the first half of the 19th century, went on a crime to improve his knowledge of anatomy.
The object of research then could be only the corpses of executed criminals. Robert Knox had little "invoice", because in connection with changes in the law the number of executions was significantly reduced. And the doctor in the 1820-40s taught at the school of anatomy and wanted each of his students to study on a separate corpse.
A chance meeting led Knox to a long-term collaboration with two hired killers, who sold him the corpses of dead drunkards and tramps. It is not known whether Knox knew about the killings, but they happened with his “blessing”.

Shiro Ishii
A Japanese microbiologist during the Sino-Japanese War in the 30s of the XX century conducted a series of secret experiments. For the people who became the object of research, they built a real city in which there were 160 buildings.
Unfortunate patients were deliberately called gangrene, had amputation, tried to “implant” the excised organs in completely different places. In humans, the effects of carriers of infection and the strength of firearms were tested. The experiments were even carried out on pregnant women, who were fertilized by the assistants of the killer doctor.

Gilbert Theodore Morell
Hitler’s personal physician since 1935. Having cured the Fuhrer of an incomprehensible rash, he won his favor for many years.
Representatives of the Nazi elite were urged to use the services of this doctor, and he treated everyone with special injections, which he made on his own, and tablets of his own invention.
It is assumed that these drugs contained a large amount of narcotic substances and it was because of them that the Fuhrer often became inadequate. The provocateur of hundreds of thousands of deaths during the Second World War can be called this doctor.
5
Joseph Mengele
The doctor from the Auschwitz concentration camp is notorious for his inhuman experiments on prisoners. He worked with adults and children, and was especially interested in twins and people with congenital malformations.
Improved accommodation and good nutrition were organized for the experimental patients, but no one could tell how long their life would last. Mengele experimented a lot with blood transfusion, infection with various diseases, amputation. He introduced various substances into the experimental eyes, trying to change their color, sewed children, deciding to create Siamese twins.
There were practically no survivors after his experiments, for which this physician received the name "Doctor Death".

Walter Freeman
Known as a psychiatrist-killer. He made a career by proposing to treat mental disorders in an operative way, "getting" to the brain through the orbit, using the lobotomy method.
During his practice, Freeman conducted a huge number of operations - about 3 thousand, because only about 10 minutes were allotted to each of them. Trying to save people from aggressiveness, he turned them into "plants." The popularity of lobotomy was great in the 50s of the last century. Some decided to make it just preventative.

James burt
This doctor wrote the book “Surgery of Love” (published in the 70s of the last century), in which he expressed his views on female physiology and “inability” to sexual intercourse. He developed his own scheme of placement of the organs of the genitourinary system and ... repeatedly carried out such operations, "permutation".
The patients did not suspect what the surgeon was doing with them, as they went to completely different operations. Affected women then had genitals so altered that they refused to have an intimate life at all. Many of them constantly suffered from bladder diseases and intolerable pains.
After people found out about the crazy doctor, a medical license was withdrawn from him without the right to re-receive it.
8
Farid Fata
Farid Fata became notorious for administering chemotherapy to people who did not need such treatment. Specific therapy led to a serious deterioration in health, and patients from the last stage of oncology simply "healed" to death.
The number of victims of his appointments exceeds 500 people. Incorrect diagnoses were made by Farid Fata solely because of the high cost of chemotherapy.
But his atrocities were uncovered, and he is currently in prison, which he can only get out of according to the letter of the law in 2052.
9
Aria Sabit
Having a stake in a company manufacturing medical devices for the spine, he actively promoted his products. Sabit prescribed operations to people, but in fact did not use the required implants. This allowed him to achieve significant "savings".
The operated patients, the number of which was in the hundreds, were forced to live with ongoing pain.
Sabit is currently in prison for 19 years. In addition, he has to pay a fine of $ 11 million.
10
Jacobus van Nierop
A dentist in a provincial town profited from removing healthy teeth for people and forcing them to put prostheses. At the same time, elementary rules were often not respected: foreign objects were left in the gums, the bleeding was not stopped.
In order to carry out an operation to remove teeth without interference, the doctor gave patients large doses of sleeping pills. Although the case took place in a small village, about a hundred people suffered from the hands of a woe-dentist.
Jacobus van Nieropu, 51, was assigned an 8-year prison term.
11
Michael Rosin
An oncologist who diagnosed cancer in almost every patient who came into his view. According to the results of his diagnosis, individual doctor’s patients underwent two dozen operations.
When one day they decided to check his work by placing pieces of chewing gum as samples, Michael Rosin again determined ... cancer. For each false manipulation, he billed the insurance company.
For his actions, Dr. Rozin was assigned a 22-year prison term, and he was fined $ 7.2 million.
Finally
It is interesting that doctors bear serious responsibility for their criminal and unprofessional actions only in our time.
The last of the list of doctors who practiced in the 2000s were punished with huge fines, deprivation of a license, or even imprisonment for a term of 20 to 45 years. While their colleagues, who practiced several centuries ago, safely lived out their lives without incurring any punishment for atrocities.
Perhaps there is some justice in this. After all, doctors of the 17th-19th centuries went for a crime nevertheless for the sake of science, even if in such a terrible sense of it. But our contemporaries, alas, did not spare the life and health of people for the sake of profit.
