SINGAPORE - The Singapore Medical Council is deciding whether to bring disciplinary proceedings against general practitioner Wee Teong Boo, who, by his own admission, had inserted ungloved fingers into a female patient during a supposed pelvic examination.The SMC also said, in reply to queries from The Straits Times, that Dr Wee, who was suspended from practice after his initial conviction by the High Court last year, has not re-applied for a practising certificate.
"In conducting any clinical examination, including internal pelvic examinations, he shall ensure the presence of a chaperone and the use of gloves, and proper lubricant in the conduct of any such examinations." The decision of the Court of Appeal, which comprised Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon and Judges of Appeal Steven Chong and Belinda Ang, to overturn his conviction led to the lifting of his suspension order on July 16.The SMC said Dr Wee's signed undertaking was completed on July 12, four days before the suspension order was lifted.
