Celebrity brain surgeon faces threat of disciplinary action
12 June 2019 - Brain surgeon Charlie Teo’s dramatic claim he may be forced out of medicine comes as he faces several complaints and possible disciplinary action in NSW.
Dr Teo has become the focus of a debate over out-of-pocket expenses after another doctor raised concern patients were fundraising tens of thousands of dollars to afford his operations.
The federal government plans to give consumers more data on likely out-of-pocket costs and will run an education campaign saying there is no link between high fees and high quality.
