Donald Harvey: The Angel of Death – A Killer in Scrubs

In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale uncovers the deeply unsettling case of Donald Harvey — a trusted hospital orderly who used his access to patients not to heal, but to kill. Known as The Angel of Death, Harvey claimed the lives of between 70 and 100 victims across Kentucky and Ohio hospitals from 1970 to 1987. By poisoning IV bags, suffocating patients, and tampering with feeding tubes, he turned places of healing into silent morgues. Set against the backdrop of post-Vietnam America, the rise of healthcare bureaucracy, and the cracks in the medical system, this 26-minute true crime journey explores how one man manipulated trust, disguised evil as mercy, and kept meticulous records of every calculated kill — all while wearing the uniform of a caregiver. This is not just the story of a serial killer, but a terrifying betrayal by the very system meant to protect the sick.
