We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system.
Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away.
But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect?
From Wondery, the network behind the hit podcast Dirty John, DR. DEATH is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system. Reported and hosted by Laura Beil.

What a fantastic supplemental episode. Eased a bit of my anxiety of doctors, especially after hearing the horrific story of Dr. Fara.
This says Episode 7 but I'm not seeing an Episode 6.
Both seasons of Dr Death are really fabulous and great examples of deep, investigative journalism. Thank you for your work. #TrueCrime #DrDeath
Just to many commercials otherwise interesting story.
I hate unnecessary ads
I have really enjoyed these series of podcasts. I have a rather unique life experience involving 13 years of being a military instructor pilot, 8 years working in the operating room, and a decade of being a chronically ill patient. I have seen my fair share of doctors both personally and professionally. After my stint in the OR, I concluded that 85% of surgeons could not be recommended by me to family and friends. You just know when you see it done right. I will also say that medicine has a huge cultural problem with physicians. In my experience most physicians are ill-equipped to be considered leaders but yet are considered by default to be so once they get some credentials after their name. Surgeons are typically in their mid-thirties when they become attending physicians. They have little life experience and little leadership experience and much of it that was modeled to them was poor. Many would act like petulant children when they didn't get their way and there is very little honest critique of their work. During my time in aviation the culture let everyone learn from other's mistakes. The exact opposite is true in medicine, and the corporatization of medicine has made it even worse. During my time working in hospitals I saw very little true leadership from either the physicians or the corporate decision makers.
if I'm paying for this podcast why so many ads?

I have avoid it but it makes you look like a $2 Hooker, there I said it... you are desperate for revenue with me think you never properly re invested in your self...
Dear Woundery why is your new advertising team/plan makes me want to no longer listen to your shows? it sickens me to see you sink so low in desperation for ad revenue that you have to release a AD with more ADs, you are sick
finally something that is not a ad for another show! please continue to use the channel feeds more properly like this from now on
what happened Woundery network? Dif you just become greedy like the ParCast Netwrok and need to pad your download numbers and line yoyr pockets with AD money that you put inside your own AD? Who did you fire that was your moral backbone?
It absolutely disgusts me how this incompetent butcher was allowed to practice medicine for so long. He deserves to rot in hell, I really feel for his poor victims 😢😢😢
This was so good!! The reporting was spectacular. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
Search Dr Death season 2 to find the new season of this podcast. Very silly that it's not just part of this one!
