Kay's legal expertise was prominently displayed when she led a team in prosecuting several civil cases against the infamous physician known as "Dr. Death." This high-profile case demonstrated her commitment to protecting patients and improving the healthcare system. Reflecting on the case, Kay stated, “I had the privilege of representing many of his (Christopher Duntsch’s) victims. Dr. Duntsch isn’t the first impaired surgeon I have ever prosecuted, and sadly he likely won’t be the last. The system has failed patients and even though Duntsch went to prison, the system was not fixed.”
