The Tainted IV Bag Scandal: Anesthesiologist's Conviction

Surveillance footage from a Dallas surgical center revealed anesthesiologist Raynaldo Ortiz's sinister acts, where he was seen tampering with IV bags. The trial evidence linked him to 11 cardiac emergencies among patients in 2022, including the tragic death of Dr. Melanie Kaspar after using a contaminated bag at home. Ortiz faced disciplinary action for a previous surgical error, adding motive to his actions. Key testimonies included those from John Kaspar, who attempted to save his wife, and doctors of young Jack Aldenstein, who nearly lost his life. Ortiz was convicted in April following the harrowing trial.
