Reporter Laura Beil has a few updates on the story of Christopher Duntsch since the series was first released. She attends an appeals hearing for Duntsch's case, discusses Baylor-Plano Hospital's response -- and the mysterious case of the disappearing billboard.

This series has generated a lot of questions and comments from listeners for host and reporter Laura Beil. In this special interview episode, Laura talks with David Brown (from the podcast "Business Wars") about a number of topics that have intrigued listeners, like how Duntsch could have performed less than a hundred surgeries during his medical training. She addresses speculation that Duntsch may have suffered traumatic brain injury from playing football in high school. And she teases the real story behind the "patient" featured in that Best Docs infomercial.

You may remember the woman in the infomercial about Dr. Duntsch who admiringly calls him "one great man" and claims "he'll fix you." Laura Beil wasn't able to get in touch with her when she first reported the series. She guessed that the woman must have been a paid actress, or perhaps even the rare patient who had a good result with Dr. Duntsch. But then the woman in the video reached out after hearing her voice in "Dr. Death." And the real story turned out to be much stranger. In this special episode, we also hear from a juror who helped deliver the verdict in the trial of Christopher Duntsch.

The judges reviewing Christopher Duntsch's appeal have reached a decision. On the day of the decision, Laura Beil goes to the Dallas District Attorney's office to speak with prosecutors Michelle Shugart and Jaclyn Lambert about the judges' decision.
