Former patient of Dr. Duntsch discusses botched surgery (1 of 5)

[@austinsnyder5262]

If you haven’t listened to the podcast on this guy do yourself a favor and do it. The entire story is absolutely MIND BLOWING. Including basically detaching his best friends head from his body.

[@spacebubble1552]

Aye!

[@prettyinink1661]

I'm intrigued now 🤔

[@frandistabile4723]

OMG, that is horrifying!!

[@cottoncandyaddict]

What?! Ok I’m interested

[@Smoshgoddess18]

Which podcast?

[@missmoxie9188]

I’m going to say this because it NEEDS to be put out there. Christopher Duntsch KNEW what he was doing. He botched those operations ON PURPOSE. One surgeon who looked at one of his maimed patients testified that if he did a surgery THAT BADLY then at one point he knew how to do it the right way. He even admitted to an ex girlfriend that he wanted to hurt people. This was no accident or a case of lack of skill.

[@orul8249]

That's what I was curious about. They make it out to seem he was incompetent. His eyes say it all.

[@DrMattPDO]

Patient: “I hope I never see his face again” Dr. Phil Show: **Shows surgeon’s face**

[@randomgurl812]

That’s a slap in the face

[@seer1623]

I'm with the patient. Duntsch is repulsive on the outside as much as on the inside.

"He said he could do things other doctors could not do " What he meant was he would do things other doctors would not do! Evil man! My heart breaks for his patients.

[@KateMich12]

His Wikipedia page reads like something straight out of a nightmare. The things he was doing to people's backs and necks is so insanely frightening. Maimed or killed 33 out of 38 patients. Freakin' monster.

[@AJ_1namillion]

Dr. Death is definitely on the naughty list now. Seriously though, this is horrific and heartbreaking.

[@sirprize275]

@@nicolewright8623 that’s right it’s Mr. Duntch’s story

[@sian2337]

I see what you did there AJ 😉

[@wetwingnut]

Duntsch is not the real villain of this story. The real villains are the program that "trained" and reommended him as a surgeon, and the facilities that gave him facilities and then let him move on to other, unsuspecting institutions WHEN THEY KNEW WHAT HIS INCOMPETENCE WAS HAD ALREADY DONE TO PATIENTS.

[@adelepattonxxx]

I agree. I try to be really open minded and look at different perspectives. The HOW is as problematic as the WHY. In the television series, I even felt some compassion for Duntsch, NOT nearly as much as the victims OBVIOUSLY! But this story leaves so many questions unanswered.

[@mariamarsch3562]

People like this are really scary.. talk about distrusting doctors...😰

[@melatoninqueen6914]

RIP to his victims, I currently work in a hospital preparing and collecting unused surgical supplies and when I started this job this case flashed through my mind. I’m glad he’s in prison where he belongs.

Just finished listening to the podcast. That man was either a psychopath that knew what he was doing or he was trying so hard to get better, but was so narcissistic that he didn't see what he was actually doing. Either way, he had 0 reason to be that end of the scalpel.

[@Melissa2087]

My mom had malpractice issues with at least 2 different doctors. She lost her leg from one doctor and lost some of her eye sight from the other doctor. Horrible. They acted like it wasn't even an issue... the doctor just said, "Sorry". She almost lost her other leg (the only one left) until I wouldn't take that for an answer and got about 5 different opinions. Finally the 5th doctor said he would be able to save the leg and not operate.

[@yoshi999z7]

That’s really upsetting to think there are more wolves in sheep clothing. What was she suffering from?

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Duntsch looks like was one step away from going full Dr. Frankenstein and trying to make a human out of dead body parts.

[@ivy3723]

[@angnic3713]

The sad thing is as mind-blowing as this case is, there are still doctors out there who think they're GOD and happily practicing out there thinking everything they're doing is correct. Wish their egos wouldn't get the best of them as soon as they earn that license. Everyone makes mistakes, it's their job to know when you ask for help- consult other physicians, look into the research to better their practice, and show respect to the other healthcare staff that are there to collectively work together to better the lives of these patients.

[@roleat]

All of the surgeons involved in gender reassignment have the same ego and lack of conscience.

[@truegrit7697]

Ridiculous that they went back to him again after he botched the first surgery.

[@katieghoul0092]

Maybe they thought since the doctor did the surgery that he could also fix it.

[@strongvictory5078]

Once a doctor performs a procedure on a patient another surgeon is reluctant to do surgery on the patient only in emergency situations will they consider. The health system is sick and scary!!!!!!

[@dsma06]

I've listened to the podcast, and am now halfway through the series on Prime. I still can't figure out if he was bad or just was incompetent.

[@TheSacred55]

So this dude operated on several people while riding speedballs of vodka and cocaine - WTF!!!! How does this happen???

[@Brose97366]

Cocaine leaves the system fast and he had a other dr pretty much help him put off the drug tests. The Peacock show is pretty amazing and actually shows how he got around it

[@stancexpunks]

That quote at the end was disturbing in and of itself but considering it’s came from a doctor/surgeon makes it 1000x worse! 😖

[@xelefonte]

We’re playing Monday morning quarterback. Christopher Duntsch had his medical license revoked and he will be in prison until at least 76 yrs old so he will never practice again. We need to be wary of the doctors who are currently practicing medicine that are just like Duntsch. We need to catch the Duntsch’s out there who are early in their surgery career and not let them get to 38 surgeries. There are always red flags. It’s important for patients to go public especially if the hospital 🏥 isn’t doing anything.

[@Queenofthatank]

Funny how people can lie about being doctors and perform procedures but we cant get a gas station job without an extensive background check and a Bachelors degree.

You’re in “doctors empires” when you’re at the hospital. A lot of them are egotistical and superior than everyone else. Obviously if this is the case, find a nee doctor but unfortunately a lot of the time, patients stay with Dr her/him because of that very reason they think their the “best” extremely confident.. The best sign of a good doctor no matter what his skill levels are. Is his bed side manner, how concerned and abs nurturing to a patient and towards there family/friends. A doctor that is patient, humble, wants to answer all your questions.. obviously… but you’d be shocked. I cry for these patients that were affected by MR. Death dunsch. I pray that their pain subsides and they can enjoy the rest of their life pain free. L
