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:

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.
