What is Dr. Death about?

Dr. Death is based on Wondery’s 2018 true-crime podcast of the same name about Texas-based surgeon Christopher Duntsch (Jackson). Dutch is a charismatic and brilliant doctor with a flourishing neurosurgery practice. But everything starts to change when patients enter his operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries and are left permanently maimed or dead. As victims pile up, two fellow doctors, neurosurgeon Robert Henderson and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby, set out to stop him.

What happened to Dr.Death in real life?

After all of the above happened in real life, Duntsch was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2017 for permanently paralysing a patient.
