Lucy Letby

*TRIGGER WARNING*

This case involves medical-related fatalities, patient harm, and the abuse of vulnerable individuals in a healthcare setting. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we examine the case of Lucy Letby, a former neonatal nurse at the Countess of Chester Hospital in England, who was convicted in 2023 of multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.

We also discuss ongoing public debate around aspects of the medical interpretation, expert testimony, and how complex clinical patterns are evaluated in both medicine and law.
