Australia’s world-renowned brain surgeon Charlie Teo says his critics will ‘eventually get me’
9 June 2019 - The beloved Australian surgeon has slammed ‘the governing medical bodies’ for ‘gunning’ for him.
Leading Australian brain surgeon Charlie Teo has threatened to walk away from medicine in the wake of an ongoing feud with other senior medical figures who have criticised him for accepting six-figure sums raised for cancer patients through crowd-funding.
In an interview with The Sunday Age, Dr Teo said that if “the distractions become too great” and it affects his ability to look after his patients, “I will call it quits”.
He said the medical establishment was “gunning” for him and trying to carry out “a purge” against him.
