medical crime

In spring 2012, a teacher trainee named Dirk P. poisoned three men with GBL — commonly known as Liquid Ecstasy — at a Berlin bar with a darkroom and in victims' private apartments. He was convicted of triple murder in June 2013 and sentenced to life in prison.

Between late 2010 and mid-2012, neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch operated on 38 patients across four Dallas–Fort Worth hospitals, leaving 33 injured and 2 dead. His case became a watershed moment exposing how systemic failures in medical oversight and hospital credentialing allowed a surgeon with a documented cocaine abuse history to continue practicing.
