Compassion, zero aversion to blood or gore and a fine intellect are probably desirable traits you seek in a doctor. However, bloodthirst is not! Of course, you also need a license to practice medicine. But this doesn’t seem to have stopped a Russian man from faking documents to work as a hospital doctor. Where it gets weird is that it was after he spent a decade in a psychiatric facility for killing a high school classmate and drinking his blood.
Creeped out yet?
Investigators said they had arrested the 36-year-old working as a doctor for a hospital in the Urals city of Chelyabinsk. They charged him with using a fake degree certificate to get a job in November last year, reports NDTV.
As a teenager in 1998, Boris injected a 16-year-old school classmate with a sedative before cutting up his body in a ritual killing and drinking his blood! Kondrashin clearly “considered himself to be a vampire.”
What is curious is that the man named by media as Boris Kondrashin was able to work as a doctor despite being sentenced to compulsory medical treatment “after committing an especially serious crime,” investigators said.
In August 2000 he was confined to a psychiatric hospital after being diagnosed with homicidal schizophrenia and ruled to be incapable of understanding his actions. He was discharged around a decade later.
Soon, Kondrashin was hired as a primary care doctor by Chelyabinsk’s City Hospital No. 11 at the medical prevention department. His job was to encourage people not to drink and smoke and tell them about the benefits of exercise! The head of the city’s health department, Natalya Gorlova reported. She said that his lack of work experience did not show up because he claimed to have lost compulsory records.
Kondrashin was detained in January after a psychiatrist who had treated him spotted him posting on a medical forum. Gorlova said however that Kondrashin was sacked after the hospital checked his degree certificate with the institution.
A photograph of Kondrashin smiling and wearing a white coat was still posted on a medical discussion forum on Friday!
Interestingly, Kondrashin’s sister happens to be a doctor. She shared that neither she nor his mother knew that he had gained the job. He only had high school education. Moreover, he had been discharged as presenting no danger to the public but was still supposed to be under medical supervision,” she explained.
The legend of Count Dracula stands proven folks. You can find him in Russia’s psychiatric facility!
