      CEO of Cancer Council Aust., Prof Sanchia Aranda: all specialists should provide their patient outcomes data for peer-review & should not be able to charge premium fees "on the basis of superior outcomes if that cannot defend that claim with data”.https://www.smh.com.au/healthcare/charlie-teo-frenzy-likened-to-lindy-chamberlain-20190610-p51w8t.html …

      “If Dr Teo worked within the public system, his patient outcomes would be audited and he would be obligated to work within a multidisciplinary team.” It’s not good enough. All doctors in the public and private sector should be releasing their wait time and costs publicly as well

      A large number of Vic public hospitals aren’t publicly releasing outpatient specialist clinic performance data - particularly for clinics where waits are long

      This issue of data and claims isn’t just about Charlie Teo. It’s about all doctors in the public and private sector. Put your stats where your claims are

      Here’s the thing, when Teo’s colleges yell Teo needs peer review, he claims *he has* - just not by them: “Dr Teo said he had co-authored several articles in international peer-reviewed journals proving his techniques were technically better or comparable to current methods.”

      Replying to @Asher_Wolf

      If that's true, I can't find the papers. As far as I can tell, he's published a couple of case reports and been involved in a survey of neurosurgeons, no published academic works relating to his techniques and survival/improvement
