The Health Care Complaints Commission is arguing Dr Teo did not properly communicate the high risks of operating and has already placed him under practising restrictions in Australia. "Whatever happened, I take full responsibility. It was my hands, my technique, my doing that she didn't wake up.Dr Teo has resumed his evidence to a panel hearing two complaints made against him.
He said Dr Teo said he would "pull his punches" and not go across his wife's brain mid-line to avoid a "terrible outcome".
