Dr Charlie Teo has settled with a family who attempted to sue him for more than $1.5 million over the death of their mother, who never recovered from brain surgery to resect a brainstem glioblastoma.

The husband and three children claimed that their psychiatric conditions were entirely caused by the woman’s immediate decline and eventual death following her “unrealistic” surgery.
