SINGAPORE - Disquiet over a recent disciplinary ruling by a Singapore Medical Council tribunal has prompted more than 4,000 people to sign a petition to Health Minister Gan Kim Yong.
The ruling imposed a $100,000 fine on Dr Lim Lian Arn for not telling his patient about possible side effects from a commonly used injection. The side effects usually last one to two days.
The petitioners are concerned that the ruling could fundamentally change the way medicine is practised here by imposing a significant additional burden on doctors that will in turn increase the time and cost of treatment.
