S. 5 Episode 21 - Dr. Death - The Story of Christopher Duntsch

Case Files with Kat and Ashley

This week, Kat talks about Dr. Christopher Duntsch -- or, as he is more commonly called now, "Dr. Death." In a two short years, Duntsch left a trail of destruction and death in his wake. It was a total system failure - from his medical school to the hospitals that employed him. But there were doctors, nurses, and patients who spoke up until they HAD to be listened to.

List of references are here - but there's so much out there. Check out Peacock's covering of the story, and the podcast that started it all: "Dr. Death" from Wondery.
