More Canadian mayhem

I don’t mean to pick on Canada today, nor focus morbidly on suicide, but a story like this really gets my Irish up. (I wish I could say, “This really gets my Jewish up,” But I’ve never heard that. Let’s start it now. You can use it when referring to something especially Jewish like, “They bought their High Holiday tickets at the last minute, and now they’re sitting in the front row. That really gets my Jewish up!” Or “It says on the menu they have sable, but they only have whitefish. That really gets my Jewish up!”)

Anyway. Ahem.

This article is about a doctor in Canada who killed a nurse (pictured) with whom he’d had an affair. The hospital concluded in a report that the murder of the nurse was “unforeseen.” I’ve never heard such a load of horseshit in my life. The history of violence this man had—particularly with nurses, and particularly with this nurse—was a clear indicator that there was potential for disaster. In almost every case of murder-suicide, there’s a history of domestic abuse. If anything, this case reads like a roadmap to murder; I can’t see how anyone would come to any other conclusion. Add to that the negligence of the hospital for losing the doctor’s paperwork … well, read it for yourself.

Oh, and the guy was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which is why it came across my transom.
