NEW SOUTH WALES:  A Sydney surgeon at the centre of multiple complaints from patients and other doctors, has been allowed to continue practising medicine in New South Wales under “strict supervision”.  What a farce that is!

Dr Paramalingam LINGATHAS has been found guilty of unsatisfactory professional conduct (according to the medical profession’s standards, not the general public’s) by the Professional Standards Committee and reprimanded “in the strongest possible terms” in a decision this week.

Strongest possible terms?  Hello!  What happened to being struck off?

Dr LINGATHAS operated at Campbelltown Hospital, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Balmain, Liverpool and Auburn hospitals.

Protect yourself, for the Medical Council’s Professional Standards Committee won’t.  If you encounter this malpractising medico, RUN.
