after a high-profile trial was ordered to be struck off the register on Monday for inappropriately prescribing medication and failing to keep adequate patient medical records.
Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon said it was"fundamentally troubling" that Wee"saw himself as an alternative to street traffickers". Mr Kronenburg maintained that the tribunal had erred in accepting Wee's unsubstantiated allegation that he did not exploit his patients for profit, and wrongly took this alleged mitigating factor into account.
He said that the court could consider making a striking-off order if it was of the view that Wee's misconduct warranted it.Defence lawyer Chooi Jing Yen asked for the appeal to be dismissed and for the original order of the tribunal for 20 months' suspension to be upheld.He said Wee's misconduct was neither deliberate nor intentional, that none of the patients made any complaints against Wee, and that Wee did not act dishonestly or display a serious defect of character.
Just like that. Reputation gone. Career gone.
