Dr. Jayant Patel, dubbed "Dr. Death," was a U.S.-trained surgeon who worked at Bundaberg Base Hospital in Queensland, Australia, from 2003 to 2005. During his tenure, he performed approximately 1,000 surgeries, many of which were marred by negligence, leading to numerous patient injuries and deaths.

In 2010, Patel was convicted of three counts of manslaughter and one of grievous bodily harm, resulting in a seven-year prison sentence. He appealed all the way to the High Court and the court upheld his appeal. He later pleaded guilty to fraud charges and was released from prison.

In this episode of Crime Insiders | Judgements we take a deep dive into the case against Patel, the flaws in the prosecution's case and how he managed to only spend two years behind bars.
