Resuscitation Rambo: Niels Hogel
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A hospital is supposed to be the place where panic ends.
In this case, it was where it began.
In this episode of True Crime Consumes Me, we travel to Germany and inside intensive care units where an unthinkable pattern went unnoticed for years. Patients who were stable suddenly went into cardiac arrest. Resuscitations became routine. Deaths were explained away as complications.
But the numbers told a different story.
This is the case of Niels Högel, a nurse later convicted of killing dozens of patients by deliberately inducing cardiac emergencies so he could step in and play the hero. Investigators believe the true number of victims may never be known.
This episode is a long-form, detailed examination of the crimes, the medical methods used, the whistleblower who finally spoke up, and the systemic failures that allowed the pattern to continue.
