French Doctor Sentenced to Life for Poisoning Patients: A Life-Altering Betrayal of TrustA French court has delivered a life sentence to Dr. Frederic Pechier, a 53-year-old anesthesiologist, for poisoning 30 patients, 12 of whom tragically lost their lives. Prosecutors believe these acts were an attempt to discredit his colleagues. Pechier worked in two clinics in Besancon, where suspicious cardiac arrests occurred between 2008 and 2017. The prosecution described him as one of the greatest criminals in history, stating that he used medicine to kill. The investigation began after a suspicious incident involving Sandra Simard, a healthy patient who survived after Pechier administered an injection containing potassium concentrations 100 times the expected dose. Pechier has not practiced medicine since 2017, but was briefly authorized to work in 2023 under the condition of no patient contact. This ruling brings closure to a deeply disturbing case.
