There's a story on the surgeon here:
Clicky
Seems like he's pretty well regarded. Prince, I haven't met you, but on the credibility stakes, he's probably got an anonymous poster covered at this point.
There are a few assumptions and assumptions presented as facts in your post Prince, for example:
i. That the surgery is routine.
ii. That MRSA infections are common (the rate of infection was 0.35 cases per 10,000 bed days of patient care under surveillance at Epworth Richmond where the surgeon operates).
iii. That the benefits of seeing a well-regarded specialist who is across Fyfe's previous history (having performed the previous surgery) doesn't outweigh that very small risk.
iv. That none of those risks were mitigated.
v. That Roly is actually making the decision.
vi. That Roly is making that decision based on being under the influence of this surgeon.
vii. That Fyfe's management are so inept that they let their cash cow have a career-affecting surgery done in a manner that no Doctor in their right mind would recommend.
viii. That Freo's Doctors wouldn't be in touch with the surgeon.
I know you'd prefer us to accept 'you have some authority' on this, but you've basically made some pretty serious allegations of negligence against Freo's coach, medical staff, a well-respected surgeon, and Fyfe's management. Hackdorn worthy in fact.
