God Complex
Skip to main content
For years, a star neurosurgeon operated inside Australia's hospital system despite repeated allegations of sexist and inappropriate behaviour, and a string of legal claims by devastated patients.
This is the hidden story of the toxic culture that enabled him.
In this Four Corners investigation, reporter Louise Milligan talks to senior surgeons and hospital insiders who are speaking out for the first time.
Through powerful testimonies, internal documents, and newly surfaced footage, God Complex reveals a culture of protection, silence and complicity in Australia's most elite medical circles, and the human cost of letting power go unchecked.
God Complex, reported by Louise Milligan and produced by Mayeta Clark, goes to air on Monday July 21 at 8.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
