Dr. William Mooney and his suspension from medical practice
The ENT doctor Dr. William Mooney who boasts of the maximum number of nose jobs in Australia had his medical registration canceled following two deaths that occurred after he operated on the patients.
The website of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) displays ‘suspended’ against his name.
The two clinical cases of patient deaths
Dr. William’s patient at Strathfield Private Hospital Pouya Pouladian (an aspiring pilot) died on 3 March this year two days after the doctor operated on him for sleep apnoea.
Furthermore, it was attributed to massive bleeding and awaiting an external review he was suspended from the hospital.
Another of Dr. William’s patients Alex Taouil, 41 died due to complications of a sinus surgery he had in December after which he never regained consciousness. He was at East Sydney Private Hospital. Also, he was a close associate of bikies and Melbourne identity Mick Gatto.
A spokesperson for HCCC ( Health Care Complaints Commission) confirmed in January 2018 that it has received a number of complaints against Dr. William and the matter is under investigation in consultation with the Medical Council of NSW.
In March, the Herald reported that two of Dr. Williams had died under uncertain conditions and the coroner is looking into it. They subjected him to drug testing as well.
Dr. William Mooney goes under the radar scanner
First, the NSW had placed restrictions on his practice. He was told to not perform a range of procedures on areas surrounding the nasal cavity above and between the eyes.
Mooney was not allowed to possess, supply, administer, or prescribe a list of drugs, some of which are known to be used as appetite suppressants. He could practice only under supervision. And now his suspension order has passed.
Dr. William Mooney’s defense
He denied any wrongdoing and apologized to the families of dead patients. He further said:
“I am terribly sorry for Mr Alex Taouil and Mr Pouya Pouladian’s passing and the loss to their families.”
He continued by saying that while every case was undoubtedly tragic, his surgery or its aftereffects were not to blame.
