Hey, listener note. This story contains adult content and language.

So Dr. Dences have some complaints by all the hints to them.

On January 31st, 2013, Dr. Robert Henderson called the Texas Medical Board.

Okay. Okay. Why am I calling you? Do you know?

I can't really share information with you about an open investigation of what we might be looking into.

We got in any position because you know sometimes our dangers are proven to be felt.

That's the Medical Board's lead investigator, Marie Lopez.

Well, you guys have been doing a horrible job to this point in this case.

Henderson reminds Lopez about the patients, at least the ones he knows about who Dunches injured.

I would just think that protecting the public would be a high priority.

I mean, that's the frustration that I see a lot of people having.

No, there's a lot of suspicions and we can even know that something's bad.

But when it comes to taking them to a hearing and proving it or we can actually, you know, this is a disciplinary action.

You know, it also has to have a care viewed by a position of the same specialty.

We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. But what happens when we can’t trust them? Dr. Death is the award-winning series hosted by Laura Beil, now in its fourth season: Bad Magic.Listen to exclusive bonus episodes of Dr. Death exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

As medical experts praise Serhat Gumrukcu’s genius, the company he co-founded rockets in value to over half a billion dollars. But when a team of researchers makes a startling discovery, they begin to suspect the brilliant doctor is hiding a secret.Season 3: Paolo is a smart and handsome surgeon, renowned for his ability to perform surgeries that transform his patients’ lives. When television producer Benita covers him for a story, he’ll transform her life too, but not in the ways she expects. As Benita crosses professional lines to be with him, she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets. And halfway around the world, four doctors at a prestigious medical institute make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything into question.Season 2: If someone you love is diagnosed with cancer you want them to get the best treatment from the best doctors. In 2013, patients in Michigan thought Farid Fata was that doctor. Between his prestigious education, years of experience and pleasant bedside manner, Fata was everything you could want in a doctor. But he was not who he appeared to be. From Wondery, this is the story of hundreds of patients in Michigan, a doctor, and a poisonous secret.Season 1: We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system. Christopher Duntsch was a neurosurgeon who radiated confidence. He claimed he was the best in Dallas. If you had back pain, and had tried everything else, Dr. Duntsch could give you the spine surgery that would take your pain away. But soon his patients started to experience complications, and the system failed to protect them. Which begs the question: who - or what - is that system meant to protect? From Wondery, the network behind the hit podcast Dirty John, Dr. Death is a story about a charming surgeon, 33 patients and a spineless system.
