SINGAPORE - A diabetes patient who had a fever and a painful lump in his buttock ended up losing part of his scrotum to gangrene because the company doctor did not examine him and refer him to a hospital for treatment.

Dr Syamsul, a Malaysian who is currently practising in Johor, was one of the doctors at a shipyard in 2013. Dr Syamsul did not examine the patient and prescribed him antibiotics and gave him three days of medical leave. A disciplinary tribunal convicted him, saying the patient should have been referred to a hospital, given his symptoms and diabetic condition. The tribunal imposed a three-month suspension and a $40,000 fine.The court, comprising Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon and Judges of Appeal Judith Prakash and Tay Yong Kwang, agreed that this was warranted.
