“I have never disputed that I make errors, but I strongly refute the claim that negative consequences have no impact on me. That is a complete insult, and it’s wrong.
I do not know a single physician who is not directly impacted by problems. Every doctor has issues, but I categorically disagree that I trivialize them and that they have no emotional impact on me.
If I didn’t feel awful when anything goes wrong, I shouldn’t be in the game.
Dr. Charlie Teo claims he has no interest in money, which he identifies as the foundation of all evil.
