The Court of Three Judges yesterday dismissed the appeal of orthopaedic surgeon Kevin Yip Man Hing against a conviction of professional misconduct. It also allowed an appeal by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) and increased Dr Yip's suspension by three months to eight...

The case centred on an incident on July 7, 2011, when the patient, who was working as a bricklayer, fell from a scaffolding platform and suffered a fractured collarbone, several rib fractures, and head and wrist injuries.

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. A third review was scheduled for July 25, but on July 22, the patient went to the emergency department of Tan Tock Seng Hospital complaining of persistent giddiness, nausea and chest pain.The patient later approached Home for assistance with wage compensation issues and a complaint against Dr Yip was filed with the SMC on his behalf by Home's then-executive director Jolovan Wham on Oct 24, 2011.
