B) for fm practice, which is the safest place of practice from a medicolegal point of view? Private gps seems to be the most precarious, was wondering if inpatient setting like community hospital will be safer? (I.e lower chance to get sued)

There is a significantly larger GP population than specialist population, and mistakes tend to be less severe compared to specialists, so the numbers might seem skewed.

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?
