Christian Slater Meets Dr. Randall Kirby | 11

In an operating room at Baylor Plano in 2012, Dr. Randall Kirby saw firsthand what Dr.

I just said, like, listen, we've got to slow this down because we got bleeding.

I said, do you want me just to do this case?

And then he goes, no, no, this is the, I've done thousands of these cases and no Randy,

we really don't need you in the operating room.

What Dr. Kirby saw that day shocked him and he couldn't just let it go.

Before this, how many surgeons or how many doctors have you reported to the medical book

I've never reported anyone, Texas Medical Board.

And you've been practicing for how many years?

But Dunge kept operating and patients kept being harmed.

This was not an operation, it was performed.

Now, their story's been brought to the screen in a new television series on Peacock.

All due respect, Dr. Kirby, you don't understand the law.

The part of Dr. Kirby is played by none other than Christian Slater.

Let's wear our own make sure this never happens to anyone else.
