Dr. Death: When Confidence Becomes a Weapon

Get my list of essential true crime documentaries HERE

Christopher Duntsch, "Dr. Death", maimed 33 patients and killed two, and every one of them walked into his Dallas operating room voluntarily and said thank you.

This isn't a story about a bad surgeon. It's about how much benefit of the doubt a confident man gets for free, and who pays for it.

A true crime and dark history episode on medical malpractice, institutional cover-up, and the Texas Medical Board's two-year shrug — with a verdict, and a ring of hell for everyone who earned one.

Severe discretion advised: surgical injury and death.

I tell the truth. You decide what to believe. Come closer.
