George Blatti: The Serial Killer Doctor
Introduction
George Blatti, a former doctor in New York State, was charged with second-degree murder for prescribing tens of thousands of pills to five victims who later died. His actions have been described as those of a serial killer, as he enabled the victims' opioid addictions without proper examinations or reviews.

Blatti's crimes took place between 2016 and 2018. He met patients in his office at a former Radio Shack, and later began handing out prescriptions from the parking lot of the hotel where he lived and from a Dunkin' Donuts coffee shop.
