Kristen Gilbert: The Angel of Death in Scrubs

In this unnerving episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale exposes the twisted story of Kristen Gilbert, a seemingly dedicated nurse at the Northampton VA Medical Center who quietly became one of America’s most chilling serial killers. Nicknamed the “Angel of Death,” Gilbert didn’t kill out of mercy or rage — she murdered patients to fabricate medical emergencies and play the hero on the hospital floor. Between 1995 and 1996, a disturbing pattern emerged: when Kristen worked the night shift, death followed. Veterans in her care mysteriously flatlined, often injected with fatal doses of epinephrine — a drug that, in large amounts, can cause sudden cardiac arrest. She then orchestrated dramatic rescues, all to capture the attention of a hospital security guard with whom she was having an affair. Through chilling testimony, forensic investigation, and a courtroom battle that shocked the nation, Vale unpacks how a trusted caregiver became a cold-blooded manipulator — and how the system nearly failed to catch her.
