SINGAPORE - The Court of Three Judges on Tuesday dismissed the appeal of orthopaedic surgeon Kevin Yip Man Hing against a conviction of professional misconduct.
The court, comprising judges Andrew Phang, Judith Prakash and Quentin Loh, said in its judgment that the most aggravating factor in the case was that Dr Yip had displayed"complete disregard for the patient's welfare and interest". The patient was then discharged the next morning. Dr Yip gave him sick leave for the two days he had spent in the hospital and certified him fit for light duties for the next three days, from July 9 to July 11.
The complaint stated that Dr Yip should not have given only two days' sick leave to the patient, which covered only his hospitalisation for surgery and not his post-operative recovery.
