The court said respiratory specialist Imran Mohamed Noor should not have discharged the patient when he was not certain that her suspected infection had cleared. He should have scheduled a follow-up consultation.
Justice Andrew Phang, who delivered the court's judgment, said Dr Imran was"the last in line" examining the patient. Ms Noor Azlin had X-rays taken in 2010 and 2011, and both times, the radiologist recommended follow-up consultations.It found"no record whatsoever of the senior doctor who had supposedly reviewed the radiological reports and who made the clinical decision" not to recall the patient.The hospital's procedures allow two senior doctors to decide against the radiologist's recommendation of a follow-up.
