Foreign doc here.
Can someone here explain why the physician's license was suspended for 12 months for a misdiagnosis?
We all make mistakes, granted few end in such significant consequences but regardless we are not infalliable.
Wouldn't it be better to ensure that the physician undergoes refresher courses through mandatory CMEs, rather than a suspension?
Seeing the discussion on a different subforum, seems like most Singaporeans agree with the sentencing or even find it too light, whereas the medical community seem to disagree with the sentencing given how challenging/vague of a diagnosis intermittent testicular torsion is.

Where I am, Family Physicians often work at more than one location and have varied practices. They may do 2 days a week of comprehensive care for their smaller patient panels and spend their other days doing something else eg Aesthetics, Pain Management, Mental Health, Addictions, Transgender, Women's Health, Men's Health, Palliative Care, Surgical Assist, Anesthesia, Hospitalist, ER and some other more obscure work.

For transgender health MTF, can I ask do you inducd bilateral torsion?
Or start with Spironolactone?

In fact many of us serve as eye MO before, and do independent eye MO calls
Fm Mmed is a fm specialist level, cannot be compared to gdfm or mbbs leve

May not be a bad idea train everyone as MMed. No need specialists. Just pay MMed salaries MMed do everything. TKR. Cardiac Bypass. Whipples.
