In the summer of 2015, investigators in Dallas finally homed in on a target they’d been seeking to put behind bars for months. Christopher Duntsch, a former neurosurgeon who’d recently had his medical licence revoked, didn’t seem like a cold-blooded killer - but in an email he’d written in 2011, he described himself as just that. Across the span of just two years, Duntsch had severely injured and maimed 33 out of his 38 patients, leaving many of them paralysed and wheelchair-bound. He also killed two other patients. His crimes earned him the nickname ‘Dr Death’, and a place in the OB Ellis Unit, a prison located in Walker County, Texas.

But who exactly was Duntsch, and how did he manage to get away with his gross negligence for so long? In this documentary, we aim to answer these questions and many more as we dive into the life and crimes of Christopher Duntsch.
