Charlie Teo is one of Australia's most celebrated yet controversial neurosurgeons. His stock in trade is "inoperable" brain tumours - those malignant cancers that others don't dare treat - and by any estimation he is incredibly successful. His more famous cases have included talkback radio shock jock, Stan Zemanek, and the young classical pianist, Aaron McMillan. In 2001, at the age of 24, McMillan was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumour. He underwent 12 hours of surgery. Two days later he was back playing the piano, preparing to record and perform. 'Life In His Hands' is the remarkable true story of a medical maverick and one of his most high-profile and tragic cases.
