Katrina Halili filed a affidavit of malpractice of cosmetic surgery against Vikki belo and Hayden Kho. Base in the affidavit that was passes by Katrina at PRC states that Hayden passed the Medical Board Examination and registered with the Professional Regulation Commission on February 27, 2007. And as admitted by Hayden in his affidavit, after passing the Board Exam for just merely 6 months, Hayden have performed liposuction on Katrina, with the date that he gave, sometime in August 2007.
For the said period of six months, Hayden could not have acquired the needed residency, training, and specialization before he could qualify as a cosmetic surgeon authorized to perform cosmetic surgery especially liposuction procedure on any patient, including Katrina. Hayden should have undergone general surgery residency training for a period of four years with a hospital accredited by the Philippine College of Surgeons.
After the said four-year period of general surgery residency training, with specialty board certification, Hayden should also attend and complete another two years of training for cosmetic surgery, specifically for liposuction. During the said two-year training period, Hayden could apply as a member of the Philippine Society for Cosmetic Surgery, and during this period also, the respondent should pass written and oral examinations. It is only after passing the said examinations that the respondent could be called a Diplomate.
Hayden also has the option to practice for another two years for cosmetic surgery to become a Fellow, and one of the requirements of being a Fellow is to have at least fifty (50) cases of cosmetic surgery.
Hayden now has the burden of proof to establish that he possessed all the qualifications, training, and specialization to practice cosmetic surgery, more particularly liposuction. Hayden now has to prove that he attended and passed all the written and oral examinations required of him in order to specialize in his chosen field-cosmetic surgery.
Katrina also filed against Dr. Belo for allowing Hayden Kho to perform ng cosmetic surgery, particulaly to Katrina, wherein his residency, training, and specialization has not yet completed. base also in the complaint Dr. Belo cannot feign ignorance on the lack of qualification, training, and specialization of Hayden as a 'cosmetic surgeon' since he only passed the Medical Board Examination sometime in February 2007 and the liposuction surgery on Katrina was done in August 2007. Thus, the Commission should also sanction and/or penalize respondent Dr. Belo to serve as a deterrent to others who might follow the practice of Dra. Belo and how Belo Medical Group, Inc. toleate this act and both should be administratively found liable and guilty of malpractice of cosmetic surgery and their license to practice medicine be revoked.
