Brilliant surgeon, bad doctor, unethical risk-taker? What doctors said about the Charlie Teo verdict
The plight of the high-profile surgeon still divides the medical community.
Last week, medical regulators finally cast their judgement on Dr Charlie Teo.
He was found guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct — condemned for performing two futile operations where the risks outweighed any potential benefits.
Both patients died without regaining consciousness.
Dr Teo will now have to work under strict conditions, with another surgeon approving any surgery on recurrent intracranial malignancies or brainstem tumours.
