If you are smart enough to be a neurosurgeon, could you not switch to like a general practitioner, take it easy, and make a little less money? I don't understand this, dude had be whacked out.

This is the kind of paranoid shite I think about laying in bed the night before an operation.

Ego would not allow this as well as a huge loss in income/ lifestyle change.

Obama asked Congress to make md and hospital records of complaints and outcomes public so we could choose not to go to this ghoul.

Congress protected the swamp.

I know, some crank sues good md, then his record is besmirched.

Surgeons are known to be egotistical assholes. Probably a control freak as well

I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trama from postoperative shock, who do you think they're praying to? Now, go ahead and read your Bible, Dennis, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle, but if you're looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn't like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God.

Unless he had a resident/co-surgeon/PA working with him there's a very small chance anyone would know the difference. Anesthesia, circulating nurses, and scrub techs really have no knowledge of what goes on during a surgery. Especially if this guy already had a reputation for being a butcher they would not think as much of the blood loss.

I would imagine there would be a rep for the hardware in the room though. If they were experience and good at their job they would have been able to recognize improper placement of screws and recommend taking a second look.

But a doctor who treated Efurd after her botched surgery said Duntsch had "done virtually everything wrong." Dr. Robert Henderson found implants placed in muscle instead of on bone, a screw drilled into her spinal cavity and a nerve root that had been amputated.

"It's as egregious as you can imagine," Henderson said.


"The evidence does not support the conclusion that Dr. Duntsch breached the standard of care"
