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(kù)里提巴市，一名醫(yī)生因?yàn)樯嫦又\殺300多名病人而被逮捕，而她的殺人動(dòng)機(jī)只是為了給醫(yī)院騰出病床床位。

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(yī)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，為病人注射致命過(guò)量的肌肉松弛劑，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(shí)德蘇扎的確害死了300多名病人，那她將超過(guò)臭名昭著的英國(guó)“死亡醫(yī)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(jiān)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.
德蘇扎在巴西南部城市庫(kù)里提巴市的Evangelico 醫(yī)院工作，最初被捕是因?yàn)橛兄缚厮斐闪?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.
但隨著調(diào)查的深入，在過(guò)去的七年里由她負(fù)責(zé)的病人死亡數(shù)據(jù)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(fù)責(zé)調(diào)查此案的馬里奧·羅巴托表示：“我們發(fā)現(xiàn)大概有300多例病人受害。” 在一個(gè)案例中，病人要求護(hù)士給杯水，但等到護(hù)士返回時(shí)病人已經(jīng)死了?！?
