Dr. Death - Surgeon sentenced to life imprisonment - Never get back surgery
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 22nd, 2020 11:45 AM Author: Flushed Hyperventilating House Twinkling Uncleanness https://www.propublica.org/article/dr-death-christopher-duntsch-a-surgeon-so-bad-it-was-criminal
This guy literally had no idea what he was doing and would randomly pull things out of the spine, etc. He ended up killing or paralyzing 33 people before anyone did anything to stop him, including the Texas medical board.
Too bad pain and suffering damages are capped at 250k in Texas.
Also, this is a big reminder to never get back surgery. Most of these people probably would have been fine/improved just doing yoga and rehab. |

chiros don't want you to get surgery; they agree cutting into the spine is garbage. chiros are the only decent relief at back pain besides a psychologist since 90% of lower back issues are mental stress related. |

Date: June 22nd, 2020 11:58 AM Author: Flushed Hyperventilating House Twinkling Uncleanness This guy literally just made shit up as he went...
here were three holes poked into Efurd’s spinal column where Duntsch had tried and failed to insert screws. One screw was jabbed directly into her spinal canal. That same screw had also skewered the nerves that control one leg and the bladder. Henderson cleaned out bone fragments. Then he discovered that one of Efurd’s nerve roots — the bundle of nerves coming out of the spine — was completely gone. For some inexplicable reason, Duntsch had amputated it. The operation was so botched, Henderson recalled thinking Duntsch had to be an impostor passing himself off as a surgeon. Even after Henderson’s repairs, Efurd never regained her mobility and now uses a wheelchair. (In an email, Efurd said that discussing what happened to her again would take a toll on her health.)
***
About a half hour into Brown’s surgery, Duntsch started to complain that he was having trouble seeing her spine.
“He was saying: ‘There’s so much blood I can’t see. I can’t see this,’” said Kyle Kissinger, an operating room nurse. He kept telling the scrub tech “’suck more, suck more. Get that blood out of there. I can’t see.’ That’s really concerning to me because, not only that he can’t do it correctly when he can’t see that but, why is it still bleeding?”
Brown bled so much that blood was saturating the blue draping around her body and dripping onto the floor. The nursing staff put down towels to soak it up.
After the operation, Brown woke up and seemed fine, but early the next morning she lost consciousness. Pressure was building inside her brain for reasons that were unclear at the time. |

They also give you tons of second chances
Someone getting kicked out of your program discourages people from applying to your program, and it makes the program look bad that it failed to train someone effectively.
These old doods running residency programs often are in their 70s and are looking for the path of least resistance until they cop that third house and retire at 80 or whatever. |

Date: June 22nd, 2020 12:05 PM Author: Flushed Hyperventilating House Twinkling Uncleanness Frustrated by the board’s inaction, Henderson had called the lead investigator six months earlier to beg for faster intervention. In a recording Henderson made of the call, he says, “This is a bad, bad guy, and he needs to be put on the fast track if there’s such a thing.” She tells him she wishes they could suspend his license while they investigate, but the board’s attorneys wouldn’t go for that.
Kirby sent the board a five-page letter on June 23, 2013, spurred by what had happened to Glidewell. “Let me be blunt,” it said. “Christopher Duntsch, Texas Medical Board license number N8183, is an impaired physician, a sociopath, and must be stopped from practicing medicine.” Robin Glidewell also sent a letter, describing what happened to her husband.
By then, Brett Shipp, a reporter from Dallas’ ABC affiliate, had gotten tips about the board’s slow-moving investigation of Duntsch from a friend of one of Duntsch’s patients and a plaintiff’s attorney. “Very shortly after I contacted them,” Shipp said, “they suspended his license.” |

Date: June 22nd, 2020 12:22 PM Author: shivering institution UT should be shut down
Duntsch’s first job as a practicing physician was at the Minimally Invasive Spine Institute in the affluent Dallas suburb of Plano, which hired him in the summer of 2011, when he also received privileges to operate at Baylor Regional Medical Center.
The hospital welcomed Duntsch with a $600,000 advance. While no one from the practice agreed to be interviewed, they sent an email describing the recommendations they had gotten from Duntsch’s supervisors at the University of Tennessee medical school in Memphis.
“We were told Duntsch was one of the best and smartest neurosurgeons they ever trained, as they went on at length about his strengths,” they said in the email. “When asked about Dr. Duntsch’s weaknesses or areas for improvement, the supervising physician communicated that the only weakness Duntsch had was that he took on too many tasks for one person.”
In 2010, Boop faxed a recommendation for Duntsch to Baylor-Plano, checking off “good” or “excellent” in boxes asking about his skills and noting, “Chris is extremely bright and possibly the hardest working person I have ever met.” Another supervisor, Dr. Jon Robertson, who was an old family friend of the Duntsches and an investor in DiscGenics, noted on his recommendation that Duntsch had an “excellent work ethic.” (A University of Tennessee attorney said Robertson could not respond to questions.) |

He spotted a hole in Duntsch’s scrubs. “It’s on the butt cheek of his scrubs. He didn’t wear underwear. That’s why it really shined down to me,” Kissinger said. The nurse realized he’d seen that hole for three straight days — Duntsch apparently hadn’t changed his scrubs all week. Kissinger also noticed that Duntsch had pinpoint pupils and hardly seemed to blink.

Soon after beginning Efurd’s surgery, Duntsch turned to Kissinger and told him to let the front desk know he would be performing a procedure on Brown called a craniotomy, cutting a hole in her skull to relieve the pressure in her brain. Problem was, Dallas Medical Center did not perform those, or even have the proper equipment to do them.
As he operated on Efurd, Duntsch quarreled first with Kissinger and later with his supervisors, insisting on a craniotomy for Brown, according to court testimony. All the while, the operating room staff questioned whether Duntsch was putting hardware into Efurd in the right places and noticed he kept drilling and removing screws.
In the end, Duntsch did not perform a craniotomy on Brown. She was moved to another hospital but never regained consciousness. In court, her family said they withdrew life support a few days later. A neurosurgeon hired to review her case would later determine that Duntsch had both pierced and blocked her vertebral artery with a misplaced screw. The review also found that Duntsch misdiagnosed the source of her pain and was operating in the wrong place. |

Date: June 22nd, 2020 12:48 PM Author: Flushed Hyperventilating House Twinkling Uncleanness According to doctors who reviewed the case, Duntsch mistook part of his neck muscle for a tumor and abandoned the operation midway through — after cutting into Glidewell’s vocal cords, puncturing an artery, slicing a hole in his esophagus, stuffing a sponge into the wound and then sewing Glidewell up, sponge and all.

While some are undoubtedly great programs that do good training, there are so many that just treat residents like slave labor. A resident could do almost nothing but scut work/get by in a program that signs him off on everything and then just cram for the board cert at the end (and with atrocious board pass rates for some programs, its appalling how bad many docs are)
In this case there should have been some objective exam (for surgeons at least) measuring his practical skill at the end. Rather its just a bunch of SAT-style question for the board cert that don't measure practical skill but can be mastered through brute force by people like this low IQ mofo |

Date: June 22nd, 2020 11:26 PM Author: Slippery Famous Landscape Painting Abode I think board cert usually requires a certain number of specific procedures. My wife had to have done specific procedures to get hers, not just do 1000 whatever cases. It had to be like 10 of this, 5 of that, etc.
I remember three or so years in (or maybe it was during her fellowship? i forget) she'd been logging cases and was like "fuck i still need to do this and that procedure but they're pretty rare, and they're technically below my current skill level so they're often given to younger residents" so she had to make sure the program coordinator knew she needed to be assigned one of them soon |
