Weight loss surgeon Reza Adib lied that the reason for performing an ultimately fatal surgery was for "life-threatening obesity", when in fact it was for reflux.
A coronial inquest into the death of one of Adib's patients heavily questioned the reliability and credibility of his evidence and found the woman's death was preventable had he reviewed her condition in person before discharging her.
Adib is the partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and is on bail facing unrelated charges including three counts of rape.
