Yesterday's blog finally mentioned something that has been on my mind, ever since watching some episodes of the TV-series Evil, rated at #7.8 in IMDb.

My blog title has been on my list of topics for some time. I didn’t know how to address it. The recent news about a nurse, being a Female Serial Killer (eg, Guardian, 24 August), changed my perspective. This excerpt bothered me though: “babies who were grievously ill”.
