Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon whose patients trusted him with their lives. In less than two years, dozens were left seriously injured and two died following surgeries he performed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

In this episode, we explore Duntsch's rise through medical training, the devastating patient outcomes that earned him the nickname "Dr. Death," the hospital and regulatory failures that allowed him to continue operating, and the landmark criminal case that ultimately led to a life sentence.

Listener Discretion Advised: This episode contains discussions of medical negligence, severe injury, and death.
