Ed, i have checked the following link to make sure it contains no negative news about cisco; nevertheless, the content of the article is disturbing. As he repeatedly got away with murder, Dr. Shipman abandoned restraint. Killings tripled, officials said, often reaching one a day. And he grew sloppy; there is evidence that in 1997 he killed someone other than the person he intended, afterward misidentifying the victim who had died to the family.That family came to the office the next day, seeking an explanation. After Dr. Shipman explained that it had all been a result of confusion, the family thanked him and left. Dr. Shipman killed another patient that same afternoon. nytimes.com
