CL’d from previous thread… Think jaunte saw it, but…

There’s a terrifying podcast called “Dr. Death” about a Texas surgeon who cripples and kills his patients. Some debate as to whether he is purely incompetent or purposely killing and maiming his patients, but he’s eventually locked up for life. Appealing though, of course.

Anyway, due to Texas’s horrible “torte reform” it was hard for the surviving patients to find a lawyer to represent them in their cases against the surgeon. (No money)

These are people who were butchered by this doctor, and got very little compensation. The podcast host opened a can of worms by bringing up torte reform and the damage it causes. Basically, the point of it is to make malpractice insurance cheap for doctors while screwing everyone else. Naturally, she got and continues to get a ton of hate on social media for daring to state what Texas “torte reform” is all about.

The descriptions of what the doctor did to those people is some of the most horrifying shit I’ve heard. Scarier than any horror movie, because it’s true.
