Isn't there a black mirror episode about someone experiencing a terrible fate because of a malfunctioning brain implant that just got FDA approval?

in the episode black museum

!one of the stories is about a doctor that had a brain implant that was paired to a hat type thing that was put on patients and he could feel everything they felt for a faster diagnosis, then he started abusing it, first for sex, then he realized pain felt even better, then one day he put the device on someone as they died and reached the ultimate orgasm and got addicted to that and became a serial killer!<
