SINGAPORE: A cosmetic surgeon has been fined S$2,000 for professional misconduct.
The Singapore Medical Council's Disciplinary Committee found on Monday that Dr Jonathan Lee Yi Liang has failed to exercise necessary supervision in the prescription and supply of diazepam, a sedative.
Nurses at his clinic were given full autonomy to administer and dispense medication, without requiring medical consultation or a doctor's written instructions.
The charge was in relation to carrying out a body contouring procedure by laser lipolysis, known as SmartLipo, on one of his patients.
Dr Lee, a hand surgeon who practises at True'Est in Ngee Ann City, was also censured and ordered to provide a written undertaking not to engage in such practices again.
He was acquitted of a charge of not getting proper informed consent from his patient for the procedure.
