195: Matt Goodman Created Dr. Death
A decade ago, Matt wrote a story for D Magazine titled "Dr. Death" about Christopher Duntsch, a madman with a scalpel. LSD, cocaine, dead and maimed patients. Duntsch now sits in prison, and his grisly tale became a Wondery podcast and a Peacock series, also called Dr. Death, starring Christian Slater. Slater played the real-life character Dr. Randall Kirby, who helped convict his colleague. And now D Magazine has published a tendril-like story to Matt's original, "Dr. Death Redux," by Will Maddox, about Kirby. With some time in rehab and signed NDAs, Kirby now finds himself in the spotlight. He has dead patients of his own. We talk with Matt about the reporting and writing process, about not getting due credit, and about the healthcare system at large. Also, Tim Rogers and Kathy Wise bicker about parking spaces. We try to keep it light. Go to LabReportDallas.com to see what Matt is up to now. And if you dig EarBurner, consider subscribing to D Magazine.
