He Cut More Than a Lesion: The Doctor Who Ignored Warnings

The image of a routine twenty-minute lesion removal turning into an unauthorized clitoridectomy grips with a visible cruelty: thirty-five formal complaints, a five-year ban from obstetrics, and a woman who was anesthetized before she could refuse. How did a doctor with a documented prohibition back on duty in underserved NSW towns and performing a procedure without informed consent?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events as recorded in hospital files, complaint records, and court proceedings, tracing how warnings were documented and yet ignored - and asking how institutional checks failed Carolyn and others.
Person: Graeme Stephen Reeves
Date of birth: 1949
Event: Prohibition from practicing obstetrics (Professional Standards Committee order, August 1997)
Complaints: Thirty-five formal complaints filed between 1986 and 2001
Victim: Carolyn DeWaegeneire - lesion removed and clitoridectomy performed without informed consent
- Reeves was appointed visiting medical officer at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital on 20 December 1985.
- From June 1986 onward, thirty-five complaints were filed by doctors, nurses, midwives, and patients.
- In May 1996 a patient died of septicemia at The Hills Private Hospital after Reeves withheld antibiotics, prompting suspension of privileges.
- In August 1997 the Professional Standards Committee prohibited Reeves from practicing obstetrics.
- In April 2002 a hiring reference check discovered the 1997 restriction, but the contract to work in Pambula and Bega had already been processed.
