Dr. Death: Christopher Duntsch

This week on Caviar and Criminals, Anthony walks Dana through one of the most disturbing medical cases in modern history — the story of Dr. Death, Christopher Duntsch.At first glance, Duntsch had everything you’d expect from a rising star in medicine: elite training, confidence, and a booming career in neurosurgery. But behind the operating room doors, something was going terribly wrong. Patients who trusted him with their lives were leaving surgeries permanently injured, paralyzed… or not leaving at all.As Anthony unpacks the timeline, the red flags start stacking up — botched procedures, baffling decisions, and a system that failed to stop him when it should have. Dana reacts in real time as the story spirals from shocking to almost unbelievable.How does someone like this keep operating?Who should have stepped in sooner?And how did so many warning signs get ignored?This is a story about ego, negligence, and the terrifying consequences of unchecked power in a place where lives are literally in someone else’s hands.Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.Caviar & Criminals is a true crime and pop culture podcast hosted by Anthony Kurtz & Dana Parisi.
