Grant Schultz, a critically ill former patient of Charlie Teo, received the settlement from the controversial neurosurgeon on the eve of a seven-day medical negligence hearing.
A critically ill former patient of Charlie Teo has received a “top of the range” settlement from the controversial neurosurgeon on the eve of a seven-day medical negligence hearing.
In approving judgment for Schultz, Supreme Court Justice Richard Cavanagh said that “on one view, the settlement reflects the top of the range for the plaintiff”. Grant Schultz received a confidential payout after the settlement of his medical negligence claim against Charlie Teo. In late February 2020, another MRI was done. The tumour had progressed to the very worst, a grade 4 glioblastoma or GBM.
In his medical negligence claim against Teo, Schultz said there was a “foreseeable risk” that he would suffer harm and have a shorter life expectancy because of Teo’s treatment, including his failure to refer him to an oncologist.
