An orthopaedic surgeon who provided six expert reports defending the medical practice of Dr Munjed Al Muderis failed to disclose he worked with the prominent surgeon and is co-owner of several businesses with him.The Age, The Sydney Morning Heraldover news reports published in 2022 that he says defamed him by suggesting he performed surgery negligently, and inadequately cared for patients after their surgery.
Stoita, Al Muderis and other doctors are shareholders in a new hospital that’s being built at Macquarie University, and have bought equipment together for patient care. The pair are also shareholders in and working at their clinic the Limb Reconstruction Centre. Al Muderis finished his own evidence on Friday, saying the media reports have made him reluctant to treat patients with certain conditions because he is worried they will accuse him of increasing the amount of pain they are feeling after their operation.
