In fact, the Phillips family was so grateful to nurse Beverly Allitt that they actually asked her to be Katie's godmother and she accepted.
she was Katie Phillips' godmother.
After this case of Katie and Becky Phillips, there were four more cases on the Grantham Children's Ward of children's hearts just randomly stopping these random respiratory attacks, and these next four cases don't really have as much information on them, and I'm not entirely sure what order they happened in, but we've done our best.
I'll tell you what I know.
Also, before I carry on, I know to me and you, true crime fans, it seems
Insanely obvious that something dodgy is going on here I keep saying it that the doctors weren't like spotting these patterns or correlations
But bear in mind, this case actually took place before the Harold Shipman case.
If you're unaware of the Harold Shipman case, I've done a full video on it, but he was a doctor that was killing a lot of his patients and that hadn't been exposed yet.
So it wasn't in people's minds that doctors could be doing this to their patients.
It was completely unheard of.
We'd never had a case like that in the UK before until Harold Shipman and then
Until this one.
And besides, Nurse Beverly Allitt seemed so dedicated to her job that no one ever suspected that she was a bad person.
You know, she was volunteering to work outside of hours unpaid just to care for these children.
So everyone around her
This just seemed like a passion of hers that she just really wanted to look after children.
So anyway, as I was saying, there were four more cases around this time and I'll run through them quickly.
One of which was Michael Davidson.
I couldn't find out how old Michael was, but Beverly was part-time caring for him.
It was her and another doctor that were looking after Michael.
