General practitioner Wee Teong Boo, 71, who was in 2020 acquitted of raping a patient was struck off the register...
The court said it will give detailed reasons at a later date for its decision to strike Dr Wee off the medical register.
When Dr Wee was first confronted with the allegations, he explained that he was treating his patients’ addictions using his own “methodology” so they would not have to go to street peddlers in Geylang.The tribunal, in its grounds of decision, said Dr Wee did not appear to have any structured treatment plan for the 10 patients.
However, the tribunal said Dr Wee was not exploiting his patients for profit and that he was charged with conduct that amounted to serious negligence rather than intentional and deliberate misconduct. Dr Wee’s documentation failed to show why she was repeatedly prescribed benzodiazepines on a continued basis.Another patient, P4, was a minor who saw Dr Wee on 50 occasions between Dec 2, 2011, and Nov 6, 2016.
