Delhi: A well known plastic surgeon from Australia has been barred by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) from performing any kind of independent surgical procedures after he was accused of stopping midway through procedures to film TikTok videos.
TikTok addiction became a stumbling block in the career of the doctor, who is a well-known personality in social media with 13 million followers on the platform of TikTok.
The Australian Health Practitioner Agency (AHPRA) forbid him from performing any kind of surgical procedures after receiving complaints from several patients alleging that the doctor was engaging himself in TikTok in the middle of a surgery.
The doctor has been barred from doing cosmetic or surgical procedures, including minor surgery. He can only engage in surgical work as a General Practitioner (GP) if supervised by an AHPRA-approved supervisor.
