Charlie Teo: brain surgeon defends six-figure op costs
29 May 2019 - Brain surgeon Charlie Teo has told a television host to get her facts straight after he was questioned about the practice of accepting six-figure sums raised for cancer patients through crowd-funding to pay for his services.
Appearing on Nine’s Today this morning, Dr Teo defended his fees when quizzed by host Georgie Gardner to perform life-saving surgery.
Dr Teo’s comments came after prominent Sydney urological surgeon Henry Woo used Twitter to question the “really disturbing trend” of people launching online fundraising campaigns to be treated by Dr Teo at the Prince of Wales Private Hospital.
