Christopher Duntsch, infamously known as "Dr. Death," was a neurosurgeon whose medical practice in Texas led to severe harm and the death of multiple patients due to his gross malpractice. Between 2011 and 2013, Duntsch performed spinal surgeries that left over 30 patients seriously injured or dead, with complications such as paralysis, severe nerve damage, and fatal blood loss. His actions raised widespread concerns about the medical system’s failure to catch and prevent repeated malpractice. Duntsch was finally stopped when other medical professionals alerted authorities. In 2017, he was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to life in prison. His case led to increased scrutiny of medical licensing and credentialing practices in Texas and elsewhere, aiming to prevent similar cases in the future.
