Case Details:
In the riveting conclusion of a two-part series, Dallas District Attorney Michelle Shughart explains how she criminally prosecuted Dr. Christopher Duntsch, also known as “Dr. Death,” and secured the nation’s first life imprisonment of a physician for actions towards a patient. Dr. Duntsch was convicted of knowingly maiming an elderly woman by surgically implanting spinal fusion hardware into muscle, not bone. Jurors heard how Dr. Duntsch resigned from his practicing hospital and was able to continue treating patients despite causing life-altering injuries to dozens of patients. This landmark case and Dr. Duntsch’s disturbing actions were the focus of the popular Dr. Death Podcast hosted by top medical journalist Laura Beil.
