TY - JOUR T1 - Georg letham: Physician and murderer AU - Miksanek T Y1 - 2010/06/16 N1 - 10.1001/jama.2010.815 JO - JAMA SP - 2417 EP - 2418 VL - 303 IS - 23 N2 - Letham's life is full of contradictions. He admits to being lucky but gripes about his misfortune. He spends his nights either working in the laboratory or gambling. He is both a criminal and a scientist. Although his main interest is experimental bacteriology, Letham begins a private practice concentrating on surgery and gynecology. In hindsight, his exodus from research is a bad choice. He is not a people person: “Illness interested me, the ill did not.” SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.2010.815 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2010.815 ER -
