In this gripping episode, Hannah dives into the horrifying true story of Dr. Death, Christopher Duntsch, the neurosurgeon who left a trail of devastation in operating rooms across Texas. Despite his prestigious medical background, Duntsch's reckless and incompetent surgical techniques led to catastrophic patient outcomes, including paralysis, chronic pain, and even death.
We explore how Dr. Christopher Duntsch manipulated the medical system, evading accountability despite multiple warnings and malpractice claims. In part one we cover the beginning of Duntsch's medical career, discuss a handful of victims and their suffering from his incompetence, and the two doctors who took matters into their own hands to stop him.
Tune in as we break down this shocking case of medical malpractice, the loopholes in the healthcare system that allowed Duntsch to operate for years, and the lasting impact on his victims. If you're fascinated by true crime in medicine, surgical scandals, and the dark side of the healthcare industry, this episode is a must-listen!
