He said a Western Australian doctor "turned that into a complaint not about the system but a complaint about Dr Teo"."[The complainant] has been hoodwinked into believing my intentions weren't honourable … and that he should file a complaint about me," Dr Teo said."I think he has been suggested to by multiple doctors over this period of time.""We had a good relationship. I made the assumption he's been got to by my enemies.
The man in evidence last week said his wife was in a "vegetative state" for about six months after Dr Teo operated on her stage 4 brain stem tumour.The man said he and his wife proceeded with the operation because Dr Teo told them there was a "5 per cent risk" of death. Dr Teo however, said he likely told the family there was a "100 per cent" risk of "some degree of paralysis" from the operation.
Ms Richardson suggested to Dr Teo that he has changed his evidence throughout the hearing, but he has denied that.The neurosurgeon was swamped by former patients and supporters on his way into the hearing, many clamouring to touch and speak to him as he passed.Dr Teo appeared emotional, wiping away a tear as he addressed media."Anyway, I'm here for them. That's why I'm here. It's not for me.
By his admission, he deserves to be stripped of his practice license.
Fxxx. If he wasn't Asian, he wouldn't be attacked left to right, top to bottom. Fxxx white supermercy mentality, you know what, all the medical professionals will switch to be politicians, big money and less accountable. Fxxx Biased media.

So the supporters get the headlines on 7pm ABC-TV news in preference to the proceedings of the hearing? Shouldn't they be a footnote?
MarieColemanAO Glad to hear of the wonderful support for Teo by his former patients
you would think this hearing would be in closed session
Reminds me of Morrison’s gaslighting
I had a neurosurgeon who thought outside the box save my life 16 years ago and killed himself at 50 because the inner clique medical fraternity tried to ruin him. He was top rated on rate mds before his death and 3 years after his death. Slow progression sticking to text books.
