As far as the hiring team at Dallas Medical Center knew, their newest doctor, Christopher Duntsch, was a well-respected neurosurgeon with an impressive CV and a bright future ahead. A graduate from the prestigious University of Tennessee at Memphis College of Medicine, he also possessed an official letter of recommendation from senior staff at Baylor-Plano Hospital.
But within Duntsch’s first week of operating privileges in Dallas, he would kill one patient and maim another. The details of these gruesome procedures left his fellow surgeons shocked and concerned. Assigned to perform the corrective surgeries, Dr. Robert Henderson immediately faxed his picture to UT professors fearing the surgeries had been performed by an imposter.
But as they began digging into Duntsch’s brief career, Henderson and Dr. Randall Kirby would discover a shocking pattern of incompetence and destruction. Was Christopher Duntsch a psychopath intentionally causing his patients harm, or was he a grossly incompetent doctor passed along by a series of hospitals more concerned with protecting their own bottom lines?
