Dr. Charles Duntsch is accused of maiming 33 patients, with two of them later dying after surgery, while working at hospitals in Texas from 2011-2013. In 2015, Duntsch was indicted on five counts of aggravated assault and one count of harming an elderly person, and in 2017, he was sentenced to life in prison. Now known as “Dr. Death,” Duntsch is the first known surgeon to be sentenced to life in prison due to gross malpractice.
