A new podcast that has stormed the Dallas community reveals the disgusting details of intentionally botched medical procedures conducted by a neurosurgeon nicknamed "Dr. Death "- surgeries that killed two patients and left others paralyzed.

The six-episode series features numerous interviews with Robert Henderson, a spinal surgeon who describes the concerns of hospital staff in the region in 2012 after examining patients who have undergone operations at the hands of Christopher Duntsch.

"To be honest, I'm worried about whether he's had any training in spine surgery," Henderson said on a phone call to the president of a facility where Duntsch had worked.

"This guy is a maniac," he continued in the latest episode of "Dr. Death, released Monday." I try to prevent this type of letting it work anywhere, n & # 39; It does not matter when, no matter where. "

Henderson said four days before the call, he had been summoned to the Dallas Medical Center to examine Mary Efurd, a Duntsch patient who had been in a wheelchair since she had lost sensation in her legs following a back surgery. .

Henderson said he had studied X-rays and notes that Duntsch had made before the operation, detailing how he was going to do it.

But Henderson quickly learned that "the procedure that he intended to do was not the procedure that he was performing".

"I really think there was some kind of parody here because he did practically nothing of what he intended to do or described in the operation," Henderson said. to host Laura Beil.

Duntsch was arrested in July 2015 on five charges of aggravated assault after four of his patients became disabled and two others in the space of one year, between July 2012 and June 2013.

He was tried in 2017 in a case that involved the testimony of Henderson, who said he found implants placed on muscles rather than bones, and a screw pierced in Efurd's vertebral cavity.

The jurors also heard from other patients, one of whom had woken up from a paralyzed neck surgery, another who was suffering from chronic pain and a third who was talking permanently after undergoing a perforation of the throat.
