A Queensland doctor who removed the wrong kidney from a patient is expected to learn on Friday if he’ll be freed from restrictions on his medical work.
The Medical Board of Australia last month suspended Rockhampton urologist Antonio Vega Vega after the surgical error came to light.
Dr Vega Vega is also alleged to have misdiagnosed a twisted testicle, causing it to be ultimately removed, nicked another surgical patient’s artery, and wrongly positioned a stent in a separate operation.
Last week, the medical board partially lifted the suspension it imposed on Dr Vega Vega last month.
