Dr Susan Lim Gleneagles Scandal: Brunei Stop Giving Medication To Singapore

Fantastic! Treated as taxable breast cancer Rp.276 billion (Sing $ 40). $ 14 million already paid, the patient died, then charged another $ 26 million. Singapore medical world sensation since the patient's family protested the Sultan of Brunei's medical bills are so outrageous. Minister of Health two countries to intervene. Singapore Medical Council (SMC) to try Dr.Susan Lim. The doctor did not accept then bring an action against the SMC to the court. Government confused, then try the new laws to overcome the scandal "medical fraud" that tarnished the medical services in Singapore.

Sebagaima post that published yesterday about Breast Cancer (breast kanken) in the land of Lee Kuan Yew, basically between Dr.Susan Lim, who opened a clinic in Gleneagles Hospital, with the Brunei High Commission established a good relationship. From 2001 to 2007 the doctor treating patients with breast cancer that is Pangiran Children Hajah Damit. Problems arise later after the patient is not cured, 2007 went to England and died in August 2007. Parties patients already pay about $ 14 million (Rp.96 billion). After the death billed another $ 26 million (179 billion) for last 5 months of treatment. Feeling "squeezed", Brunei protest. The case of rolling in July 2007 to February 2011. As a result Susan Lim cornered.

Actually, both parties agreed to settle this case in a matter of money alone. Claims removed and does not continue into the realm of law. However the SMC to bring this matter to the disciplinary action, code of ethics, to the malpractice to the shoulders Dr.Susan Lim. Feeling threatened its existence, the SMC to the doctor complaining about the high court. SMC officials are Dr.Lim Cheok Peng, Professor Saktu successor, insists that this is a serious violation of ethics code. Inmate could be revoked license practice.


At the same time uncovered the doctor who blew up his crime (markup, corruption, nyatut) bill bill (medical bills) to the patient until HUNDREDS OF TIMES fold. For example, a bill of $ 1,000 worth of specialist doctors billed the patient $ 300,000. So no wonder if the bill reaches millions of dollars. Though generally estimated around $ 100ribu. So there is speculation there has been malpractice resulted in patients suffering from additional diseases that result in high costs of flying.

(LANGUAGE WONG BREBES-TEGAL: "Pokoke wacky fare edanan milk cancer doctor until sundul sky is ... opo tumon temenanan cancer drugs milk anjog 276 billion silver ...?").

To this day Susan Lim has been clear all final bills both for himself and for the doctors who worked for him at the clinic in Gleneagles Hospital and Medical Care Singapore. But good will is likely not enough. Maybe because it already enjoys a payment from Brunei $ 14 million (Rp.96 billion), the patient died, uncovered markup (cost markup) is very unreasonable.

The defense of the doctor also felt very weak that is argued that patients ask for special treatment, fussy, willing to pay the bills, and the rich. Such a defense is clearly not justified to propose bills out of bounds. Moreover, no results at all. I do not know if Susan Lim has another card to justify his action that gets the defense out of 5 specialist doctors in Singapore.

With the explosion of the scandal public Brunei is very angry. That is reflected in the reviews and comments on Brudirect, Straits Brunei, etc.. The point kapok went to Singapore because of crazy madness charge, even more than the standard 10x Europe / world. Mending make their own hospitals and local physicians to use their own.

The trial of this case will reopen March 28, 2011 for continued hearing. Reportedly the government of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew's family, are very worried and tried tooling tweaking the law in order to "secure" Dr.Susan Lim.

This case is a scene in Asia, Australia, New Zaeland because ketiban definitely not override the medical giant "Gleneagles Hospital and Medical Care" where dr. Susan Lim open the clinic.
