He Cut Without Consent: The Surgeon Who Evaded Accountability

A woman went under anesthesia in winter 2002 expecting a small lesion removed - but woke to find her clitoris had been cut; the surgeon had already amassed thirty-five complaints and a formal restriction, yet he continued practicing in the public system. How did a doctor with documented abuses, a suspended practice, and psychiatric evaluations still gain new hospital roles and operate on vulnerable patients?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events that placed Graeme Stephen Reeves back into public hospitals despite prior adverse findings and suspensions, and trace the internal memos, unread referrals, and missed verifications that allowed him to work on the South Coast. Where did the chain of responsibility break, and who ignored the warnings that could have stopped him?
