This is part 1 of 3! In the next few episodes, we discuss Michael Swango, a brilliant and successful student who seemed to have the future at his fingertips. However, he had a bit of a dark fascination which he carried over into his professional career as a doctor. Considered one of the most prolific serial killers, Swango used his status to violate the Hippocratic oath.
