Dr Warwick Nettle at Silkwood Medical review: beware warwick nettle - unethical plastic surgeon 3

Please be aware that your medical records are not kept confidential by warwick nettle - silkwood medical.

I booked in surgery with dr nettle to excise a hypertrophic burn scar on my forehead, which had been caused by another surgeon's incompetence. My surgery was booked in several months in advance, however a week before surgery I received an email from the original surgeon saying he has had a lengthy conversation with dr nettle about me, and that I could no longer expect a reimbursement (as this is what had been promised should I have the scar revised). I then received an email from dr nettle saying he is cancelling my surgery, and now believes that my scar is actually a reasonable outcome. That's despite the fact that I suffer ongoing sensitivity and itching in my scar. Of course, dr nettle was unaware that the other doctor had emailed me and admitted they had discussed my private medical records and colluded with one another to avoid paying the promised reimbursement.

Disgusting, unethical behaviour. I have started the process of reporting them both to oaic as this is illegal conduct.
