1
A listener note, this story contains adult content and language.
2
So Dr. Dunst has had some complaints filed against him.
3
Okay.
4
Correct.
5
Well, I can't really say.
6
On January 31st, 2013, Dr. Robert Henderson called the Texas Medical Board.
7
You can't say.
8
Okay.
9
Okay, why am I calling you, do you know?
10
That's the medical board's lead investigator, Marie Lopez.
11
Henderson reminds Lopez about the patients, at least the ones he knows about, who Dunge has injured.
12
know that something's bad, but when it comes to taking them to a hearing and proving it,
13
where we can actually do some disciplinary action, it takes time of gathering evidence.
14
And, you know, we also have to have the care reviewed by a position of the same specialty,
15
you know, to get a very detailed report about what was going wrong in these cases and unfortunately,
16
sometimes it takes longer than we want it to.
17
But this is a bad, bad guy, and he needs to be put on the fast track if there's such a thing.
18
Lopez says there is such a thing, but it's not so easy.
19
I would like to just say, can we just suspend this license and prove it later?
20
But the attorneys don't go for that.
21
But I do understand what you're saying, and I agree with you.
22
Well, does the board ever,
23
I mean, maybe the police or federal agents or somebody ought to get involved with this and arrest this guy.
24
The doctors in Dallas were becoming convinced that Christopher Dunch was a bigger problem than even the medical board could handle.
25
But they'd never heard of a surgeon getting arrested for actions performed in the operating room.
26
If the medical board was the only option, well, they weren't moving nearly fast enough.
27
From Wondery, I'm Laura Beal, and this is Dr. Death.
28
This is Episode 5, Free Fall. On June 19, 2013,
29
Jeff Glidewell was recovering in the hospital from the infection caused by the sponge Dr. Dunge had left in his throat, from the severed vocal cord,
30
and from the hole in his esophagus.
31
On the same day, an email hit
32
Brett Shipp's inbox.
33
Shipp was a journalist at Channel 8, Dallas's ABC affiliate.
34
With a 25 -year career in Dallas, he's one of the best -known reporters in town.
35
The subject line of the email was, The sender said she had a friend who'd been permanently injured.
36
She didn't want to give her friend's name in the email.
37
She told Shipp that she knew of two patients who died and two who were paralyzed from surgery.
38
And then she writes, When I Google him, there's basically glowing recommendations on all the physician referral sites.
39
This story has not garnered media attention, and I fear he will move to a new state and do this again.
40
Can you help us?
41
And then, not even two hours later, Shipp gets another email, this time from a plaintiff's attorney he knows.
42
One of my contacts, an attorney by the name of Kay Van Way, came to me basically saying,
43
I've got an amazing story for you that needs to get out because this is a matter of public safety.
44
She's been practicing for 35 years.
45
She has a sweet voice, but she's an industrial strength force when she sees something wrong.
46
Dr. Henderson had called her to help
47
Mary Eford a year earlier.
48
I found her to be a very sympathetic,
49
empathetic, responsible attorney who was willing to go the extra distance for her clients.
50
And here's Ship.
51
She's tough.
52
She's gritty.
53
She is no nonsense.
54
She is.. an advocate for her clients and never afraid to speak out.
55
And obviously when lives are at stake, Kay's a person who's going to say, this can't happen anymore.
56
And that's why she contacted me.
57
Wei told him to expect a call from Dr. Henderson about a doctor who was injuring patients.
58
The same doctor mentioned in the email he'd received earlier.
59
She said, I've got a victim, possibly more, of Dr. Christopher Dunch,
60
and you need to hear the background on this man
61
because he's a monster and what he's done to these people is horrific.
62
And he has to be stopped.
63
And this needs to be made public.
64
Two tips on the same day from two unconnected sources would get any reporter's attention.
65
Ship began digging he started pressing the Texas Medical Board.
66
Until now, as powerful as the path of destruction had been,
67
Dr. Dunch's actions were known only within the surgical community and by a few plaintiff's lawyers.
68
That was about to change.
69
Dr. Randall Kirby and Dr. Henderson kept pushing for someone, anyone, to stop Dr. Dunch.
70
Four days later, Dr. Kirby sent an email to the Texas Medical Board.
71
Dear Mrs. Lopez.
72
The letter was addressed to Marie Lopez, the lead investigator at the Texas Medical Board.
73
The investigator Dr. Henderson had spoken with six months earlier.
74
This letter will serve as the statement you requested on Friday, June 21, 2013,
75
at 2 .16 p .m regarding my firsthand knowledge of Dr. Christopher Dunch and his surgical skill in medical decision -making.
76
Attached is my sworn statement form properly executed as you have requested.
77
Let me be blunt, Christopher Dunch, Texas Medical Board License N8183 is an impaired physician,
78
a sociopath, and must be stopped from practicing medicine by the Texas Medical Board immediately.
79
Dr. Kirby calls Dr. Dunch the most careless, clueless, and dangerous spine surgeon he's ever seen.
80
I, along with Dr. Henderson and Dr. Fosdick, Dr. Henderson's a spine surgeon, Dr. Fosdick's a thoracic surgeon,
81
are going to urge the Dallas County DA to arrest Dr. Dunge and put him in jail.
82
It is the only way we can think to stop this madness.
83
Nothing has slowed him down yet.
84
I'm beginning to think only the police are the ones
85
that are intellectually and physically capable of getting to the bottom of this matter.
86
Your mission is to protect the public.
87
Dr. Dunge is a clear and present danger to the citizens of Texas respectfully, Randall P.
88
Kirby, MD.
89
So what was the reaction to that letter?
90
It worked.
91
The medical board had been investigating Dench before Dr. Kirby's letter and before
92
Brett Shipp started asking questions.
93
Well, I was appointed by the governor in June of 2006.
94
I retired from the board and the presidency in August of 2014.
95
Dr. Ervin Zeitler is a physician from San Angelo, Texas, and he was on the medical board at the time, the chair of the disciplinary panel,
96
which means he was in charge when the medical board was investigating Dunch.
97
The law in Texas is that we have to have a written complaint.
98
It cannot be anonymous.
99
It is confidential.
100
And we didn't have that until late August of 2012.
101
He says it's not uncommon for there to be complications in neurosurgery and that there are two sides to every story.
102
That's why the investigative process is set up the way it is.
103
Recall that the Texas Medical Board only acts on complaints.
104
and absent complaints, we're not a police force.
105
We don't go out looking for offenders.
106
Zeitler says it took the board until June of 2013 to establish a pattern of patient injury in Dentsch's cases.
107
I think the simpler the case, the quicker they act.
108
If you run a pill mill or something, they got you on camera, basically they can track what your drug uses are.
109
They like simple stuff.
110
They don't like complex stuff.
111
And they don't like taking doctor's licenses away.
112
They like reprimanding them.
113
They like signing agreed orders.
114
That's what they're set up down there to do.
115
Dr. Kirby's letter may indeed have been the final straw.
116
With Brett Shipp poking around, they were facing public scrutiny.
117
Maybe they were on the verge of acting anyway.
118
On June 26, 2013, almost a full year after the board received its first formal complaint,
119
Christopher Dunch's license was temporarily suspended.
120
He would not be allowed to operate.
121
Dr. Henderson, though, was still.. still worried.
122
He'd seen Dr. Dunst disappear only to reemerge too many times.
123
And I was terrified of that term suspended.
124
I mean, that indicates that he might get it back at some point in time.
125
And I was already aware of the fact how disarming he was
126
and how friendly and intelligent he appeared whenever he introduced himself to people that he wanted to impress.
127
If by some chance he was able to get his license back, Henderson and Kirby knew that he could get a job somewhere.
128
Even with a record like his, there were plenty of hospitals out there that might still hire him.
129
Why?
130
Because he was a neurosurgeon.
131
Remember, four hospitals in Dallas had welcomed a neurosurgeon who kept losing his job,
132
even with negative rumors swirling around him pretty much from the moment he arrived in town.
133
And if you've got a couple of spine surgeons at your facility working day and night, that's a dream for a hospital administrator.
134
I asked the opinion of an actual neurosurgeon, Dr. Martin Lazar.
135
We represent a lot of money for the hospital.
136
We are like a cash cow.
137
Now, every neurosurgeon represents millions of dollars per year if that surgeon's busy.
138
The healthcare analysis firm Merritt Hawkins says that the average neurosurgeon brings in $2 .4 million every year to a hospital.
139
So why do people keep hiring Dr. Dench?
140
Simple.
141
Hospitals are businesses.
142
Neurosurgeons are money.
143
And you think that's the reason?
144
I don't think it's because of our charm.
145
I think it's economic value.
146
And so, in the fall of 2013, a few months after the medical board suspended Dunch's license,
147
Dr. Henderson and Dr. Kirby decided to go to the district attorney's office.
148
But that was your idea?
149
That was my idea.
150
They used the police to do the dirty work, not the Texas medical board, because they can do investigations pretty simply.
151
Henderson and Kirby went together to meet with an assistant DA.
152
We both classified him as a serial killer and maimer of people seeking help in the health care system.
153
My impression was that if they could put an investigator on him,
154
they would find out he was doing something illegally that they could arrest him on anyway.
155
And then we queried him at the end of our interview and said,
156
you know, is this just going to be shoved under the table or what's going to happen with this?
157
And he says, no, this is going to go to the top of my stacks and it's something that I will address.
158
So we felt good about that.
159
This particular assistant DA had a lot of stacks on his desk.
160
Dr. Kirby says he left the building feeling optimistic that the DA would act.
161
But then, nothing happened.
162
And I called him three or four times.
163
I said, what are you guys doing?
164
Are you putting an investigator on him?
165
What's going on?
166
They said, well, you know, he's been suspended.
167
He can't practice medicine.
168
He voluntarily released his license, so he can't practice anymore.
169
And so he's not doing any harm anymore, so why are you upset?
170
I said, because just because he doesn't have a medical license doesn't mean he didn't try to kill somebody.
171
So I just kept calling him every month and a half.
172
Attorney Kay Van Wey went to the DA's office, too, hoping to get some interest from someone in their civil division.
173
It was clearly an outcry by the other doctors involved that this was someone who either had a brain tumor,
174
was seriously mentally ill, seriously impaired by substances or alcohol,
175
or so completely inept and not trained as to be just a complete madman and very dangerous.
176
Still, the DA did nothing.
177
Meanwhile, the medical board did permanently strip Christopher Dunch of his medical license on December 6, 2013.
178
Ten days later, he filed for bankruptcy, listing just over a million dollars in debts.
179
His license was gone.
180
He didn't have a job.
181
He spent time on his computer plotting his comeback
182
and assailing online anyone who crossed him and he did have a Facebook page.
183
That's Jeff Glidewell, the last patient Dunge operated on.
184
He saw that Dunge had posted a new picture of himself in an operating room.
185
Someone had written a comment below.
186
There's Christopher saving another life.
187
Glidewell replied, maybe murdering someone else.
188
An hour later, he got a long message from Dench.
189
It came through Facebook.
190
It said, Your surgery was routine until I encountered a thick scar
191
and what I believed was diffuse sarcoma
192
or metastatic disease the tissue was abnormal friable bled much
193
and was difficult to control
194
that supposedly abnormal tissue wasn't cancer it was a part of jeff glidewell's neck muscle
195
that dunch had mistaken for a tumor i showed perfect clinical judgment control in the
196
And every step that followed was to protect you to the best of my ability.
197
What a crock.
198
I'm sorry, but that's just.
199
And I'm guessing you didn't respond.
200
No.
201
No, I actually contacted my attorney and told him
202
because I thought I was going to get in trouble for calling a murderer on Facebook
203
when I saw the picture but they just kind of laughed about it and said, no other contact with the guy, just leave him alone.
204
Reporters were now on the trail of Dr. Dunsch.
205
The board had issued a one -page press release when they suspended his license that June,
206
which generated a few stories that only touched the surface of the larger disaster.
207
The first publication to really take a deep dive was The Texas Observer, a venerable bi -monthly magazine out of Austin,
208
which published a story in August of 2013.
209
But it didn't seem to make a big splash up in Dallas. And then...
210
North Texas Hospital tonight is accused of allowing a dangerous surgeon to operate on patients, causing a paralysis, even death.
211
The allegations are laid out in lawsuits against Baylor Plano Hospital
212
by two patients who say the surgeon should never have been given credentials and challenge
213
Brett Shipp has more tonight as News 8 investigates.
214
Brett Shipp put Dr. Dutch on hundreds of thousands of television screens across North Texas.
215
Dr. Christopher Dutch had built himself as one of the most accomplished spine surgeons in North Texas, such that in July of 2011,
216
Baylor Plano agreed to pay him $50 ,000 a month plus expenses to work exclusively at their hospital.
217
But according to a lawsuit filed by attorney
218
Kay VanWay, Dutch's previous employer had identified him as an egomaniac,
219
mentally ill, an alcoholic, a drug addict, or a combination thereof.
220
Baylor has yet to file a response and generally denies the allegation.
221
Victim after victim or their surviving families all saying the same thing.
222
Dutch should have been stopped before he was allowed to operate on them.
223
of botched operations that left them with agonizing pain.
224
Now that surgeon has just been indicted.
225
The private outrage was now public.
226
Dr. Dunsch became a hot story for the local media.
227
And victims who had been trying to come to terms with what had happened to them suddenly realized
228
they weren't the only ones.
229
This friend called me and said, I believe that your doctor is on the news that he has been killing patients.
230
Shirley Mock turned on the television and saw Dr. Dunge.
231
She immediately went to his office.
232
I had no idea what was going on,
233
and that's when I started trying to investigate and contact and couldn't even find out anything.
234
So we went over there.
235
We couldn't get an answer at the door.
236
I didn't find that out until I saw on the news.
237
Philip Mayfield's a Navy veteran
238
and Dallas truck driver who'd been left paralyzed by Dr. Dench after a cervical operation at Legacy Surgery Center in 2013.
239
And she was doing her report and was showing the clinic.
240
I said, oh, wow, really?
241
That was unbelievable.
242
He has other nerve damage too, some of the most bizarre things I've ever heard of, like sometimes his skin flares up,
243
feels like it's on fire, and peels off.
244
Dunsch moved in with his parents in Colorado.
245
His life entered a free fall.
246
In January of 2014, he was pulled over by police in southern Denver around 3 .30 in the morning.
247
Officers stopped him because he was driving on the left side of the road with two flat tires.
248
When he opened the window,
249
they smelled the sour tang of alcohol and spotted an empty bottle of Mike's hard lemonade on the floor of the car.
250
A full one was sitting in the console.
251
After a breath test, he was arrested for DUI and sent to a detox facility.
252
Even though he was living in Colorado, he continued to return to Dallas to see his two sons.
253
His older son had been born in December of 2011, back when he was Baylor's rising star and living in Plano.
254
His girlfriend, Wendy Young, had another son in September of 2014,
255
but police reports do not paint a scene of domestic tranquility.
256
When Wendy Young was in the hospital after giving birth to their new baby boy,
257
her mother called the police after Dunge arrived at the house where she was babysitting Dunge's older son.
258
According to Wendy's mother, Dunge started banging on the door.
259
She did not answer, so he jumped the fence and entered through the back door.
260
He snatched his son from his grandmother, got in the car, and drove away.
261
The next month, in October of 2014, police were summoned to Wendy Young's apartment after she said he slapped her in the face during an argument.
262
She fled with her toddler and newborn and called police from her car.
263
The following spring, in March of 2015,
264
police were called to a bank in northeast Dallas after passersby noticed a man with bloody hands
265
and face beating on the doors.
266
It was Dunge babbling about his family being in danger.
267
He was wearing the shirt of his black scrubs.
268
It was covered in blood.
269
Officers took him to a nearby psychiatric hospital.
270
Two weeks later, Dunge himself called police after getting into a fight with Wendy Young's current boyfriend.
271
He told officers that he showed up at the apartment to see his sons and found the other guy.
272
They fought, and Dunge said he was cut with a knife.
273
But the officers added a note to the report
274
that Dunge's story was difficult to follow and at times did not make sense.
275
By now, reporters were pouncing on Dunge whenever they spotted the opportunity.
276
In May 2015, the Texas Observer published an article titled,
277
Sociopath Surgeon Dunch Arrested for Shoplifting Pants.
278
It's a picture of Christopher Dunch.
279
He looks like he's beat up in his mug shot.
280
He looks terrible.
281
And it talks about him stealing, you know, his behavior in the Walmart.
282
He was acting erratically, stealing pants and sunglasses.
283
A month earlier, in April of 2015, Dunge's father had wired money to a Dallas Walmart.
284
While there, Dunge decided to do some shopping.
285
He filled a shopping cart with $887 worth of merchandise, including watches, sunglasses, silk neckties, computer equipment, a walkie -talkie,
286
and a bottle of Drekkar Noir cologne.
287
He placed them into bags that he had swiped from the register.
288
Then he picked out a pair of trousers and put them on in a dressing room.
289
He put his own pants into the cart.
290
He rolled the cart out the front door in his stolen pants without paying and was arrested for shoplifting.
291
I read it and remarkably he was putting comments on his own article saying it was untrue, that this was a big conspiracy,
292
that this was a cabal of me, Doug Wan, and the plaintiff's attorneys.
293
Finally, Kirby himself jumps in.
294
Does anyone reading this idiot Dunge's comments on this article doubt
295
I was 100 % correct in reporting him to the Texas Medical Board?
296
Followed by two question marks and an exclamation point.
297
Dutch's online tirade went on for days.
298
And then he was threatening us.
299
He was threatening
300
Kay VanWay, Doug Wan, and myself.
301
Doug Wan, remember, was a partner at the medical group that first recruited Dunge to Dallas.
302
I printed it out.
303
I took it back down to the DA's office.
304
It's like 82 pages long.
305
I took it to him.
306
I said, like, guys, this guy's doing all this on purpose.
307
He's basically admitting online that he's doing this stuff on purpose.
308
I mean, if you can't convict this guy, you can't do anything.
309
By then, there was also a new district attorney in Dallas County.
310
It came to my division where one of my chiefs,
311
Donna, was looking at the case to see if there was anything we were going to do on it.
312
And I overheard her talking about it.
313
And I just thought it was interesting.
314
So I went and started doing my own research on it to help her.
315
And then I just kind of ended up taking over the case.
316
Michelle Shugart is an assistant DA.
317
She's worked in Dallas as a prosecutor for 13 years, normally putting robbers, thieves, murderers, and drug dealers on trial.
318
But she was about to learn a whole lot about neurosurgery.
319
She was very impressive, and she took the case on with a great deal of passion.
320
Shugart grappled with what Dunn should be charged with since no doctor had ever faced criminal charges for something
321
that happened in the operating room.
322
And then it dawned on her, Mary Eford.
323
Because she was over the age of 65, it qualified her as an elderly person under Texas law.
324
And so we were able to increase the punishment range so
325
that the jury could have the full range of from five years up to 99 years or life.
326
And then also the fact that leading up to that, he had just killed two other patients, made his best friend a quadriplegic.
327
All of that would have been telling him he should not have been going into Mary's surgery at all.
328
But they were running out of time.
329
Mary Eford's operation had been in July of 2012, almost three years earlier.
330
We had about four months left before we were going to run out on the statute of limitations from
331
when I got the case.
332
So I spent those four months just digging as hard as I possibly could, trying to gather as much information as I could.
333
And by the time we got down to that July, I had overwhelming evidence to indict him.
334
She and her team consulted Dr. Lazar, the neurosurgeon, to get an understanding of just how bad Dunch's surgeries were.
335
The common threads were wrong diagnosis,
336
poorly designed procedures, and very badly executed,
337
so that the technical errors at operation were multiple,
338
and that resulted in injury to the nervous system.
339
Just for perspective, have you seen errors like this before?
340
Never.
341
The prosecution team was very cognizant that they were taking on a case entirely new to the criminal justice system,
342
putting a doctor on trial for the way he practiced medicine.
343
It's extremely unusual.
344
We did a lot of research to see if we could find anyone else who'd done any cases like this,
345
any other doctors who'd been prosecuted for what they had actually done during the surgery, their surgical actions.
346
We couldn't find anyone.
347
They put together an indictment, not only from Mary Eford, but five cases of aggravated assault,
348
including Floella Brown, the lady who had died after her operation the day before
349
Mary's, and Jeff Glidewell.
350
Now they waited for Dunge to return to Texas.
351
The case of Christopher Dunge is one in which lies
352
and denials have shaken our trust in a system meant to heal us.
353
But this isn't the only scandal
354
Americans have faced.
355
Since our founding, in every generation, in every field, business, politics, sports, we've watched aghast as corruption,
356
deceit, and desire bring down our heroes, titans, and those we thought we could trust.
357
In the aftermath, we're left with too many questions.
358
How did this happen?
359
Who is to blame?
360
American Scandal, a new podcast from Wondery, will answer those questions.
361
We tell the stories of America's biggest scandals, the who, how, and why, to discover what happened, how they changed our country,
362
and what lessons we can learn.
363
Stay tuned till the end of the episode to hear an exclusive preview of American Scandal.
364
Dutch was living in Colorado, but he was still making regular trips to Dallas to see his children.
365
The prosecutors had their indictment ready and on July 21st 2015 we found out
366
that he was in town right around the time we were going to indict
367
so we made sure that the indictments were sealed so that nobody would know that they were coming.
368
I presented to the grand jury that morning it took a couple of hours
369
and immediately they they returned an indictment and issued a warrant for him
370
and we had the Dallas Police Department there ready to go to grab him.
371
So they went and banged on the door.
372
And did he go willingly?
373
I don't think he understood the gravity of what was coming.
374
I don't think he understood the possibilities of going to jail
375
and that he was looking at doing some serious time because he had been getting away with this for so long.
376
Years and years where he had not had any consequences.
377
He didn't pay out any money.
378
he didn't have to account for what he had done.
379
And so he just thought that he could talk his way out of it again.
380
Like he'd been trying to talk his way out of everything else he had done with the hospitals
381
and with the civil attorneys and with the medical board.
382
He thought he could talk his way out of the criminal prosecution too.
383
Mr. Dutch, how's it going?
384
Good, how are you?
385
Good, how are you doing?
386
Dallas police booked him into the county jail.
387
He was wearing a rumpled green t -shirt.
388
He had dark circles under his eyes.
389
His face was puffy.
390
right now are you employed anywhere right now no i'm in between jobs i'm in between jobs dutch says
391
um basically the reason you're here right now today okay is um
392
you have been charged with um five counts of aggravated assault okay
393
and one count of injury too elderly okay
394
now specifically the aggravated assaults were victims were names we have a jeffrey glidewell so these are the medical malpractice cases.
395
And then, Dunch does something extraordinary.
396
He launches into an explanation as if the cases had been perfectly routine.
397
Jeffrey Bightwell, it was a gentleman who presented a severe neck pain.
398
He was worse at one level.
399
He had difficult insurance, so I had to bring him to the University General Hospital.
400
During his case, there was difficulty with a tissue that was growing along the top of the bone.
401
One by one, the detective asks him about each case.
402
Ms. Eifford, here's exactly what happened.
403
I'm not over -truralizing this.
404
And one by one, he explains them away.
405
Ms. Eifford, and I was only three millimeters off to the midline, and it broke out to the middle, and it caught one of her nerves.
406
So her L4 -5 nerve on the left, which happens, by the way, is about six percent of all surgeries.
407
60 percent?
408
6 percent.
409
But it was my first ever. But...
410
And Dunch says he was distracted by another patient who was dying, Floella Brown.
411
I feel like it was because I got overwhelmed by the executive of the hospital coming into my operating room,
412
freaking out about the patient who was dying, not following my orders about this patient, me trying to get this patient closed.
413
If I had slowed down
414
and followed my neurosurgical training I would have been able to finish with the effort and that complication would not happen.
415
Was there an argument or something?
416
A little bit of an argument?
417
There was an argument about whether
418
or not we were going to take care of a dying patient right there then
419
and there or whether they were going to transfer them
420
and I told them very clearly if you transfer this patient to another hospital she will die.
421
She'll have brain death and then die.
422
They did transfer her and she did have brain death and die.
423
Whereas if you let me take the illness patient right now as a neurosurgeon, we will save her life 100%.
424
And they didn't have the right to...
425
Detective Anderson asks him about his drug and alcohol use.
426
So the issue of drugs and alcohol in the first 22 years of my career never came up once.
427
No testing, no failed tests, no suggestion, no allegation.
428
You know where those allegations came from?
429
I mean, yeah.
430
Yes, I do.
431
He explains that surgeons and attorneys in Dallas cooked up the allegations of drug and alcohol use.
432
So there's a deal where you think that those, they conspired to make that about you?
433
Yes.
434
He tries to call his father.
435
The answer is a good answer.
436
I just leave a message.
437
Yeah, it's fine.
438
I leave a message.
439
That's fine.
440
What's your name?
441
Detective Amy.
442
I have reached the unducts.
443
It's no phone.
444
Leave a message and I'll get back with you since possible.
445
Thanks.
446
Hi, Dad.
447
This is Krishna Farah.
448
I was supposed to come home tonight, as you know, and I'm not now.
449
Unexpectedly, the police came and picked me up regarding the DA issues that I mentioned to you.
450
This is the photo of one of the detectives.
451
If you would please call him back, he'll tell you what's going on.
452
I had no idea what's going on with Bond and what's going to happen next, so I'll call you as soon as I can.
453
Love you.
454
Thanks.
455
Dr. Henderson later saw the tape of Dunst being questioned by police.
456
The first time I really observed him speaking was after he got arrested, and he got interviewed by the police department,
457
and the DA had sent me a videotape of that.
458
I mean, he really appeared to be a pathologic liar.
459
He was totally not in touch with the reality of the situation.
460
Assistant District Attorney Michelle Shugart was just getting started.
461
We spent the next year
462
and a half after he'd been arrested continuing to find more witnesses
463
and just more of these horrible injuries kept coming up everywhere we looked.
464
Total, there were 38 patients.
465
And we spoke to every one of the patients.
466
We felt we needed to investigate everyone to see how prevalent was this in his career.
467
What she found shocked her.
468
33 of those patients were hurt.
469
Either they came out of the surgery in more pain, or they couldn't talk, or they couldn't move.
470
Some sort of strange anomaly happened in all of those cases and many of the patients, at least 20 of them,
471
were severely injured where they have permanent injuries that will never go away.
472
As she built the case, Sugar was still grappling with how something like this could happen.
473
What are you thinking as you're doing this investigation?
474
I was trying to find a way to explain the behavior.
475
I couldn't figure out what would make somebody keep going after they had caused so much damage to the people.
476
And his patients, I mean, they, their stories will just break your heart.
477
They have been through so much and their families are going through so much that you cry with them.
478
And so I really, we were trying to find out why.
479
Why would he do this?
480
But she was going to make sure that a measure of justice was served.
481
That's next time on the final episode.
482
From Wondery, this is part five of six of Dr. Death,

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
