Preamble:
Nurses are supposed to be angels to patients, but Jones, a female nurse in the United States, was able to murder 60 babies without changing her face, and was finally sentenced to life in prison.
However, what kind of chilling secrets are hidden in this scheming woman's distorted and indifferent inner world?
1981-1982 North Qihar Hospital: 43 babies died mysteriously
In January 1981, Jenny, who had just graduated from nursing school, entered the North Qihar County Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, USA. This hospital is affiliated with the University of Texas School of Medicine and is quite famous in the American medical community.
James is the chief paediatrician and when he first met Jenny, he was impressed by her dedication and dedication to her patients. Not only Dr. James, but also Pat, the head nurse, also spoke highly of Jenny's work ability and medical skills.
However, this seemingly dedicated and capable "angel in white" hides a terrible secret - she actually killed an innocent baby in the hospital!
It all started in 1981. Within her first year on the job, 46 babies died in her care in the paediatric intensive care unit, mostly due to inexplicable causes. These poor little lives should have been treated, but one afternoon they suddenly suffered cardiac arrest, difficulty breathing, and massive bleeding, and died after being rescued by doctors.
What's even more puzzling is that when these babies die, Jenny is always there. She is not the attending doctor, but she often runs to the ward to "watch" when the child is critically ill, and notifies the parents of the death as soon as possible, and seems to relish the matter.
Somme, the chief physician, also noticed that the blood levels of the babies in the ward were often high, which was not in line with the doctor's instructions. But because the hospital's heparin medicine cabinet is open to all staff, it can be difficult to pinpoint who took the medication.
In March 1982, six-month-old John was admitted to the hospital with fever and diarrhoea. A few days later, her condition improved, but Jenny died of encephalitis at night when she was on duty. The autopsy revealed a large amount of heparin remaining in John's body.
Subsequently, Joshua, an 11-year-old boy, was hospitalized for pneumonia, and he died of heart failure in Jenny's care.
These two bizarre deaths lead to the astonishing fact that between January 1981 and March 1982, there were 43 infant deaths in the pediatric intensive care unit of North Qihar Hospital, 22 of whom Jenny was primarily responsible for and seven of whom she assisted other nurses.
In the face of the hospital's investigation, Jenny did not panic at all, and she justifiably defended herself, claiming that the hospital's heparin medicine cabinet was open to all staff, and there was no direct evidence that she had stolen the drug and killed the baby.
Ironically, the hospital management did not take the matter seriously, and actually helped Jenny write a letter of recommendation and put the matter away. To avoid reputational damage, they simply advised Jenny to leave the hospital and go elsewhere to continue her work as a nurse.
However, this "Chrysostom Recommendation" made it convenient for Jenny to intensify her efforts to take innocent lives. A scheming serial killer easily escaped the punishment of the law and began the next bloody journey.
August 1982 - More innocent babies are killed
Carried by the "excellent recommendation" letter from North Qihar Hospital, Jenny quickly found a new job. She was hired by Dr. Katherine Holland as a nurse at the paediatric clinic.
Dr. Catherine was full of praise for the new employee. She didn't know that this seemingly professional but cruel woman was the initiator of the bizarre baby death incident in the North Qihar Hospital.
On August 24, Jenny's first day on the job, Chelsea, a 14-month-old blonde baby girl, came to the clinic. It should have been an ordinary process of seeing a doctor, but it changed under Jenny's "care" - the little girl suddenly had a seizure and stopped breathing, but fortunately she was rescued in time to save a small life.
After a period of time, there were multiple incidents: the baby suddenly suffered cardiac arrest after receiving Jenny's infusion therapy, and was rushed to a higher-level hospital for rescue, and his condition was temporarily stabilized after rescue.
In October, Chelsea, a 14-month-old baby girl living in Texas, came to the clinic again to get vaccinated. It was an ordinary injection process, but just after Jenny injected her with the second injection, the little girl suddenly had convulsions all over her body, had difficulty breathing, turned purple, and died after resuscitation.
An autopsy revealed that Chelsea had residual succinylcholine, which can cause cardiac arrest. The investigation found that the clinic had recently lost one vial of the drug, and two vials had been left with signs of syringe puncture.
There are all kinds of indications that the infant death incident is inseparable from Jenny. Dr. Catherine dismissed her and immediately called the police. The police also confirmed that in just over two months from August to October, six babies died suddenly during Jenny's infusion care.
One nurse, two hospitals, two appalling and bizarre deaths. The police finally realize that the woman in front of them is not as simple as a simple professional nurse, she is a ruthless serial killer!
What is the motive for the murder of a baby?
In February 1984, Jenny was tried in court. Prosecutors accused her of murdering at least 60 babies by overdoses of drugs such as heparin and succinylcholine while working at two medical facilities.
After a short trial, the court found Jenny guilty of first-degree murder. She was sentenced to 99 years in prison for the death of her baby due to the use of succinylcholine. In October, she was sentenced to 66 years for overdose.
What is the motive for such a horrific crime? Psychologists have given an explanation -- Jenny suffers from "surrogate Munchausen syndrome".
This lofty-sounding term refers to a psychopath who satisfies his or her distorted mental needs by making healthy people sick.
Jenny was born in Kansas in 1950 in the central United States, where her mother died young and her father was unable to support her due to financial constraints. A child without mother's love is forced to face the cruelty and helplessness of life.
At the age of 17, Jenny hurriedly married a young man who was a soldier, thinking that she could finally live a life to rely on. Unexpectedly, her husband would soon go abroad to serve, and she could only find solace in others when she was lonely.
In 1976, Jenny's adoptive father and half-brother died of cancer. The successive blows of losing loved ones made her inner world distorted and cold. She gave up her job and decided to become a nurse and get a sacred career of saving lives.
However, Jenny, who is empty and psychopathic in her heart, has turned this profession, which should be white and flawless, into an evil tool that destroys conscience and tramples on life. In the dark and twisted depths of her heart, the ambition to save lives and help the wounded is long gone, replaced by the satisfaction of a desire to control life and a twisted sense of superiority.
Looking at the baby who was on the brink of life and death because of herself, Jenny felt a great sense of satisfaction. It was as if she was finally in control of her life, and she was no longer the lonely, failed Kansas girl in her marriage.
As a medical worker, she was supposed to save people in danger and abide by the medical ethics of benevolence and benevolence, but Jenny unreservedly vented her distortion and indifference on these defenseless babies. Her cruel behavior has seriously trampled on the sanctity of life, and the impact is terrible and outrageous!
In 2018, 67-year-old Jenny Ben may have been granted early parole under the U.S. Good Day Act. However, the prosecution suddenly filed five new charges against her for the murder of five more babies while she was at the North Qihar Hospital.
Under the plea agreement, Jenny pleaded guilty to only 1 crime. Although she denied the other four charges, she was sentenced by the judge to life imprisonment for life.
When Jenny's handwriting flowed through hundreds of newspapers and media discussions in the United States, the families of the former victims also stood up one after another to mourn the angels who lost their lives for no reason because of a devil nurse.
"How much my child and I trusted you, you told us everything was going to be okay, and then you killed her, and my daughter never went to school, got married, and enjoyed the world. A mother choked up in the courtroom.
And in the dock, in the face of the accusations and grieving family members, Jenny has few expressions, as if all this has nothing to do with her. Perhaps, the heart that should have been full of love and kindness has already become indifferent and distorted under the polishing of this cruel world.
Who would have predicted that a seemingly professional but indifferent and cruel woman would take pleasure in ravaging life? The distortion and darkness hidden in her expressionless eyes are terrifying. We have to think deeply, is this flashy world eating away at the original good nature in our hearts?
Epilogue:
This is the cold and cruel life story of nurse Jenny. She turned what should have been a white nurse's uniform into a murder weapon to kill innocents, and ended 60 weak lives with a twisted sense of psychological satisfaction.
We have to be reminded that it is in our nature to be human and to be loving and kind. In this flashy and vain red dust, don't lose that piece of true heart!
