Scandal

Duntsch performed 33 surgeries that resulted in the maiming or death of his patients. Baylor-Plano failed to report Duntsch either to the Texas Medical Board or the National Practitioner Data Bank, instead allowing him to resign and offering a letter indicating that there were no areas of concern with regard to his performance.
