Charlie Teo
Charles Teo is a high profile but controversial Australian neurosurgeon.[1] He has received much media attention[2][3] as something of a miracle worker, but members of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia, from which Teo resigned in 2003, have described him as falsely presenting himself as a pioneer of new techniques rather than as a competent practitioner of standard surgical techniques [4]. Neurosurgeons have claimed that he offers false hope by operating when there is little chance of a successful outcome. Teo argues that delaying the death even of terminally ill patients with an incurable is worthwhile. [1][2]
