Real Crime Profile

The RCP team analyzes the horrific story of Christopher Duntsch, a neurosurgeon whose arrogance and recklessness in the operating room left a trail of victims — patients who first came to him to alleviate their pain, ended up maimed and in some cases, dead. Jim and Laura forensically deconstruct Duntsch’s behavior and the real motives behind his actions. Lisa wonders why Duntsch was able to get away with his botched surgeries for so long — when so many medical professionals and patients reported him.
