No, he never got any media attention that I'm aware of. My concern is that he's just hopping from hospital to hospital - hiring on, fucking up, killing someone, getting fired, hiring on, fucking up, killing someone, etc.

Hospitals are pretty protective of their reputation and their doctors; and death is a thing that can happen in surgery so it be swept off as a "Oh well, patient signed off on the risks; and oh hey, this Dr said some mean things to our staff, so let's fire him for that and hope we don't make national headlines..."

That's exactly what happened with Dr Death and why he wasn't caught for such a long time.

Oh, well shit. Dr Death was before this shit, but it sounds like basically Dr Death 2.0.

...kinda makes me wonder how common this is.
