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.

i wonder how private FM can learn all of such things like use of OCT and nerve blocks.

Be it torsion or even check for FAST trauma
Slit lamp and even OCT
We got rotation to eye and urology.
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
