Brad Harris, 34, founder of Novus Health Care Services Inc., allegedly regularly instructed nurses to overdose hospice patients with drugs like morphine to quicken their deaths, and maximize profits, according to FBI documents obtained by NBC.

Harris, an accountant, founded the company in 2012, which is located in Frisco, Texas.

NBC obtained an affidavit from the FBI stating Harris directed a nurse to overdose three patients and requested another employee increase a patient’s meds to four-times the maximum, which the employee refused to carry out. 

You need to make this patient go bye-bye.
