Deadly God Complex

Terry Dubrow, M.D., discusses former neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch, who was dubbed "Dr. Death" by the media and was sentenced to life in prison for his malpractice. Even though Duntsch had exhibited medical incompetence and had various devastating clinical problems, he slipped through the cracks and was allowed to continue operating.

By the time the law caught up with Christopher Duntsch, he had botched numerous operations, most of them resulting in long-term disability.

From the Good Samaritan Society Nursing Home scandal to the shocking arrest of caregiver Nathan Sutherland, these are six of the most horrific cases of nursing home abuse.

Jeff Glidewell remembers waking up from his surgery performed by Christopher Duntsch, a neurosurgeon dubbed "Dr. Death" by the media. When Glidewell awoke in the intensive care unit, he could not feel his feet, move his left arm or speak. Duntsch was later charged with injury to an elderly person in a separate case, and he was sentenced to life in prison for the botched surgery.

Caitlin Linduff, the daughter of Kellie Martin, and Kellie's husband, Don Martin, remember when Kellie went into surgery with Christopher Duntsch, a neurosurgeon dubbed "Dr. Death" by the media. Duntsch was later charged with injury to an elderly person, and he was sentenced to life in prison for the botched surgery.

Kellie Martin's husband, Don, recalls being told that the district attorney would pursue charges against Christopher Duntsch. "At least they took up the battle, and I couldn't have been more thankful for that," he says.

Days after her mother, Kellie Martin, died while under the knife of Christopher "Dr. Death" Duntsch, Caitlin Linduff recalls, the medical examiner reached out to the family for a second autopsy. "There was some conflicting information ... Nobody was on the same page," Linduff says.
