Murder by Medic – Charles Cullen documents nurse's killings

## Murder by Medic – Charles Cullen

"Murder by Medic: Charles Cullen" is a 43-minute documentary episode released in 2024 as episode 13 of season 2 of the true-crime series Murder By Medic. The episode is available to stream on Apple TV and was produced in collaboration with A&E.

The documentary focuses on the notorious case of Charles Cullen, a nurse from New Jersey who was arrested and later convicted for killing patients. Cullen himself admitted to killing up to 40 patients over the course of his career, but investigators believe the actual number of victims could be far higher — possibly as many as 300.

The episode places Cullen's crimes in the context of his long-running employment at several different hospitals in the New Jersey area. A central element of the case is how he was able to continue his deadly work for years, despite warnings about suspicious behavior. Systemic failures and a lack of communication between healthcare institutions were later criticized for not stopping him sooner.

The Charles Cullen case has drawn significant media coverage over the years. In addition to this documentary episode, the story was also portrayed in the 2022 Netflix film The Good Nurse, in which Eddie Redmayne played Cullen.

No reviews or ratings for this specific episode are currently available in existing sources. The episode is part of the Murder By Medic series' broader focus on healthcare workers who have committed serious crimes against their patients.
