Dr Death

 "Dr. Death" is a nickname that has been given to several different individuals who have been involved in medical malpractice or unethical medical practices. However, one of the most infamous "Dr. Deaths" is Christopher Duntsch, a former neurosurgeon from Texas.


Christopher Duntsch was accused of botching a number of surgeries and causing harm to many patients over the course of his career. His patients suffered from a range of complications, including paralysis, chronic pain, and death. Despite numerous complaints and warnings from fellow doctors, Duntsch continued to perform surgeries, leaving a trail of victims in his wake.


Duntsch was eventually arrested and charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault and injury to an elderly person. He was convicted in 2017 and sentenced to life in prison.


The case of Christopher Duntsch has been widely publicized and has brought attention to issues related to medical malpractice and patient safety. It has also raised questions about the accountability of medical professionals and the need for stricter regulations in the medical field.

 Dr. Death was accused of performing numerous botched surgeries that resulted in harm to his patients, including paralysis, chronic pain, and death. His modus operandi, or method of operation, was as follows:


Duntsch was known to perform surgeries that were beyond his level of expertise and experience. He would often rush through procedures and ignore standard medical practices and protocols, including failing to use proper surgical techniques and tools, not properly monitoring patients during and after surgery, and ignoring warnings from other medical professionals.


Duntsch would also take on high-risk patients who were in need of complex surgeries that many other surgeons would decline. He was known to perform multiple surgeries in a single day, often without taking breaks or adequately preparing for each procedure.


Duntsch's surgeries often resulted in complications, including excessive bleeding, nerve damage, and infections. Despite numerous complaints and warnings from colleagues, he continued to perform surgeries, causing harm to a number of patients.


Duntsch's case has highlighted the need for stricter regulations in the medical field to ensure patient safety and to hold medical professionals accountable for their actions.


A doctor who kills. So far from their oath. 
What is your take on that?

  A serial killer might not be a new word for many of us. From reading about them in newspapers and novels to watching them in movies, people have either been fascinated or have been horrified by them. But have you ever wondered why people kill? Why do some people become serial killers, and most don’t? Most importantly, did you ever get a thought of what drives serial killers? These questions are not just a matter of concern for criminologists but for us too. After all, both nature (genetics) and nurture (environmental factors) are guiding forces to a man's behavior. While we have no control over the genetic factors, we certainly can help make the environmental factors better. So let us get into the Mind  of a serial killer and understand what “creates” a serial killer. Firstly, 'What is Serial Killing?' In the words of renowned Richard Castle,  At one murder, you look for a motive.  At two murders, you look for a connection. But at three, you look for a serial killer. Ther
