Having received a complaint, the Ministry of Health carried out an audit on Aug 6, 2020, which found that Dr Wong had done unnecessary tests and scans on five patients brought by the ambulance services to his facilities.
Two MOH experts in emergency care told the IOC that the patient was “a priority one case” who needed urgent medical attention. He should have been taken straight to a hospital emergency department. The second patient also fell and had a fracture at the top of her left leg. Following an X-ray that showed the fracture, Dr Wong wanted to do a CT scan and a magnetic resonance imaging scan despite the woman being disoriented, restless and confused upon arrival.
Dr Wong was called to the home of the third patient, who had abdominal pain and low oxygen saturation. The patient was taken by SEAS to HHSC and SIC, where he remained from 1.15pm to 5.45pm.
