巴西女醫生涉嫌謀殺300名病人 只爲騰出病房牀位

A doctor accused of killing patients to free up hospital beds could be to blame for more than 300 deaths in Curitiba, Brazil.
在巴西庫裏提巴市，一名醫生因爲涉嫌謀殺300多名病人而被逮捕，而她的殺人動機只是爲了給醫院騰出病牀牀位。

Virginia Soares de Souza is said to have “played God,” administering fatal doses of a muscle relaxant or cutting off patients’ life support.
這名醫生名叫維吉尼亞·索爾斯·德蘇扎，她擅自“扮演上帝角色”決定病人的生死，爲病人注射致命過量的肌肉鬆弛劑，或切斷病人的生命支持裝置。

If confirmed it would mean she would have claimed even more victims than Hyde GP Harold Shipman, who killed at least 215 patients before he hanged himself in 2004.
如果謀殺罪名成立，證實德蘇扎的確害死了300多名病人，那她將超過臭名昭著的英國“死亡醫生” 哈羅德·希普曼的殺人記錄。希普曼殺害了至少215名病人，2004年在監獄自縊身亡。

De Souza, who worked at Hospital Evangelico in Curitiba, south Brazil, was initially accused over the deaths of seven patients.
德蘇紮在巴西南部城市庫裏提巴市的Evangelico 醫院工作，最初被捕是因爲有指控她造成了7名病人死亡。

But the number soared as checks were made on those who had died in her care over the last seven years.
但隨着調查的深入，在過去的七年裏由她負責的病人死亡數據不斷增加。

Investigator Dr Mario Lobato said: “We are looking at nearly 300 cases. In one a patient asked a nurse for a cup of water, yet by the time she returned he had died.”
負責調查此案的馬里奧·羅巴託表示：“我們發現大概有300多例病人受害。” 在一個案例中，病人要求護士給杯水，但等到護士返回時病人已經死了。”
