On Friday morning, less than a day after Safer Care Victoria announced the recall of thousands of patients, Schmidt’s Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency registration was updated to say Schmidt could no longer practise medicine.

A colonoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny camera to look in the bowel, for patients who have bowel problems or other symptoms, or have done a bowel screening test that has returned a positive result.
