Christopher Duntsch: A Review of Clinicide

Robert Kaplan

The surgical disasters of neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch led to his jailing in 2017, setting a legal precedent. Dr. Duntsch came from a good family and showed considerable potential at medical school. However, during training for neurosurgery he followed a research path and did fewer operations than most trainees.
When he got to Dallas, Duntsch got a highly paid hospital position but his surgery was disastrous, leaving 33 out of 38 patients with serious problems, including two dead and one a quadriplegic, before he was stood down.
