The credibility of a witness at the disciplinary hearing into neurosurgeon Charlie Teo has been challenged after the emergence of a second statement.
The credibility of a witness at the disciplinary hearing into neurosurgeon Charlie Teo has been challenged after a tribunal heard he provided a fresh statement with “a whole series of new recollections” after consulting the controversial doctor’s lawyers.
The inquiry has heard the outcome of an October 2018 operation performed by Teo was disastrous and that after the surgery the Perth woman didn’t wake up. Richardson told the inquiry that Goyal had made a second statement in August last year, after consultation with Teo’s lawyers, who have claimed legal professional privilege over their dealings with Goyal.He said in evidence that he had been sent the new draft of his statement to sign but he had not thought to let the HCCC know he had recalled a whole range of new things not mentioned in his original statement.
