Dr Jaynat Patel started work at Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queensland in 2003. In the years that followed he was linked to the death's of over 100 patients and was dubbed 'Dr Death'. He then fled to the US and escaped prosecution.
Virginia Walker, a qualified registered nurse, worked closely with Dr Patel in the years he worked at the hospital and Dancing With Doctor Death is her personal account of this period.
She catalogues the day-to-day stresses and horrors of working in a health system that seemed more obsessed with money and budgets than people and their health.
This is a startling story of one of the saddest periods in the history of the health system in Australia.
