    We should celebrate people like Teo and not make a demon out of him. The media has persecuted this genius

    When one has nothing to lose, as in having a terminal illness, the best course of action is to try everything possible. This is what Charlie Teo does. I respect him greatly. He offers hope to the hopeless. Until YOU find yourself being diagnosed with a brain stem tumour, reserve judgment. You too would want to take any chance that offers hope. Dr Teo, you’re an admirable man and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Least of all those who do not know what they’re talking about.

    He did some good things and saved some lives. This led to a massively inflated ego where he started to believe his own infallibility as a neurosurgeon. Once he lost all sense of humility and perspective, he became reckless. Offering hope to desperate families where there was never any was just cruel, and all for the low low price of $100k. All the good he did does not absolve him of his unethical treatment of those poor kids

      Did you miss half the video where he went through how he screwed up? Worst outcome, condemned a boy to be trapped in his own body. His overall philosophy is "we as surgeons have no right to decide what is and isnt a worthwhile risk when it should be ultimately the patient's decision". How is that an inflated ego? How is that a lack of humility?

      @@robincray116 you realize that boy was given a death sentence by every other surgeon?
      That Teo told his parents beforehand that every other surgeon was correct- his tumour was inoperable. That any surgery he attempted would have a 99% percent chance of failing and that he’d either die on the operating table or be a vegetable for his last few months. And with that the parents decided 1% percent chance was better than just waiting for the inevitable.

    I absolutely respect this man because he speaks from the heart and most importantly he tells things exactly as they are. I was bought up to do the exact thing by both my parents but there a lot of people who either feel uncomfortable or simply can’t handle the fact that you say whatever straight out. It’s simply someone telling the truth how they see it. I’ve always found people like me who say what they think are more honest than most anyway..I would put my life in his hand no question he’s a doctor who tells the truth and its rare nowadays to put your trust and faith in some doctors because they like to refer you to someone else instead of taking a risk.

      Can you also explain why one of the Neurosurgeons interviewed on the episode, as well as Bella’s dad, also emailed him apologising for how they were portrayed and how they were used by the program to discredit him?
