He Cut Without Consent: The Australian Surgeon Women Warned About
-
Letto da:

Di:
When a routine operation turned into an unexpected clitoridectomy, an ordinary woman woke up missing a body part she never consented to - and her case was only the tip of a crisis spanning nearly two decades. Thirty-five complaints, seventeen criminal charges, and the deaths of ten infants and seven women followed one surgeon’s path through hospitals that repeatedly renewed his access; how did the system let this happen?
In this episode, we trace the sequence of events, hospital decisions, and missing paperwork that allowed Graeme Stephen Reeves to keep practicing despite formal restrictions, and ask how institutional blindness enabled harm that might have been prevented.
Person: Graeme Stephen Reeves
Date: 2002 (Carolyn Dewaegeneire's operation)
Location: Bega Hospital, New South Wales
Period: mid-1980s to 2004 (career span covered)
Case: 35 documented complaints; 17 criminal charges
- Carolyn Dewaegeneire underwent surgery in 2002 and woke up having had a clitoridectomy without informed consent.
- Investigators later counted 35 separate complaints lodged against Reeves over fifteen years.
- Reeves faced 17 criminal charges and was connected to the deaths of 10 infants and 7 women.
- A Professional Standards Committee in August 1997 explicitly prohibited Reeves from practicing obstetrics.
- In April 2002, an application to the Greater Southern Area Health Service omitted the 1997 restriction and Reeves was hired without the Medical Board being contacted.
