Ex-Texas neurosurgeon sentenced to life for maiming patients

2. Good lord. I just read another article about this that was written while he was under...

investigation but not yet arrested. It's a bit jaw-dropping. (It includes his explanations as to why he personally did nothing wrong.)

It was two other neurosurgeons, one of whom had been brought in to attempt to repair the harm Duntsch had done to a patient, who separately reported him to the state board.

Dr. Robert Henderson, a veteran Dallas spine surgeon, was called in by Dallas Medical administrators for rescue surgery [on a former Duntsch patient].
Henderson couldn’t believe what he saw — amputated nerve roots, muscle damage, badly misplaced “bone putty” and “three screw holes that weren’t anywhere near where they were supposed to be,” he said.
...
The procedure had been so badly bungled, Henderson said, that he believed the surgeon who performed it couldn’t have been an actual doctor.

Henderson secured a photo of the surgeon and sent it to the residency program in Tennessee, to make certain it was the real Duntsch working in Dallas.

“I was sure it was going to come back that he was one of those guys wearing a white coat who was a wannabe,” Henderson said. “I thought he was an impostor.” But the Tennessee officials assured him that was not so.
