About this listen

 Most people first heard of Kay Van Wey through the shocking true story of Dr. Death—the infamous Dallas neurosurgeon who maimed and killed patients. Kay stood up to him and the system that enabled him, fighting for the people whose lives he shattered. That case made headlines around the world, but for Kay, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the patients—the mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons—who deserved answers, justice, and dignity. Now, on AdvoKAYte: Holding Healthcare Accountable, Kay brings that same passion to a new mission: exposing a healthcare system that too often puts profits ahead of patient safety. With more than 40 years of experience as a medical malpractice attorney, Kay has seen firsthand the devastating impact of preventable medical errors—and uncovered their root causes. She calls out dangerous physicians, profit-driven hospitals, fraudulent schemes, and a system designed to keep patients in the dark. A lawsuit against a negligent provider can bring justice for the victims, but Kay is fighting for something bigger. She will always stand with individuals and families harmed by medical errors—but she is on a mission to reform the broken healthcare system that is vital to all of us... patients. This podcast is about more than cases—it’s about change. Patients need a voice. Their voices must be amplified—so loudly and so clearly—that politicians can no longer ignore them. Only then can we demand accountability, reform the system, and make healthcare safer for everyone. Because as Kay learned from Dr. Death—and countless other cases—the problems are fixable. What’s missing is the will to fix them. And that starts here. Knowledge is power. Strength comes in numbers. It’s time for patients to matter more than profits—and for preventable medical errors to end.© 2025 RNCN Social Sciences

    Nov 19 2025

    Courage. Duty. Accountability.

    Welcome back to AdvoKAYte: Holding Healthcare Accountable. In this powerful episode, Kay Van Wey sits down with Dr. Robert Henderson—the spine surgeon who took a stand and helped expose one of the most shocking medical scandals in modern history: the Dr. Death case.

    Dr. Henderson shares his firsthand account of how he became involved in the case of Christopher Duntsch, what he discovered during the revision surgery that changed everything, and the moment he realized he had a duty to speak up—no matter the cost.

    Despite immense pressure, personal risk, and a system designed to protect physicians over patients, Dr. Henderson chose truth and transparency. His courage not only protected future patients, but helped ignite a national conversation about medical oversight, credentialing failures, and the urgent need for reform.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    1. How Dr. Henderson became involved in the Duntsch case
    2. What he uncovered during the revision surgery—and why it was alarming
    3. Why he documented and reported his findings, despite resistance
    4. The personal and professional risks of speaking out against another physician
    5. The failures of hospital peer review and medical board oversight
    6. The continued need for reform in credentialing and accountability

    Dr. Henderson’s story is a reminder of the power of moral courage and the responsibility of medical professionals to protect patients—even when the system won’t.
