Plastic surgeon Dr Woffles Wu wonders if his suspension from practice could have come in the form of community service, where there is a better and “more creative use” of a doctor’s skills and experience.
“Instead of paralysing me in this way medically, where I feel like I have been totally body-botoxed, I would have gladly dedicated my time during this period doing pro bono work in public hospitals or operating pro bono on patients who otherwise may not be able to afford the fees,” he said.
The Singapore Medical Council has censured him for getting his employee to take the rap for his speeding offences, for which he was fined $1,000 in 2012.
It suspended him from practice for four months from March 24.
Dr Wu told TNP that he is not appealing against the decision out of “respect”.
