Brain surgeon Charlie Teo says ‘the truth will set you free’ as inquiry resumes
“It was my hand, my technique, my doing that she didn’t wake up,” he told the hearing.Teo sparred with the commission counsel Kate Richardson SC, denying accusations that he unnecessarily cut across the brain midline, which heightened risk to the patient.“I made an error. A surgical error. I went too far and I damaged this lady. No one is disputing that.”“With both of you talking over each other it doesn’t help us. I appreciate that it’s frustrating,” Boland said.
Teo has previously testified he doesn’t regret the surgeries because he believed at the time they were the best thing for the patients. Throughout the disciplinary hearing process, Teo has continued to operate on patients under additional oversight imposed by the commission. Previous hearings have drawn large crowds of supporters for Teo including the former Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh and boxer Anthony Mundine.
