SINGAPORE: The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioners Board has taken three TCM practitioners to task for flouting the law.

Chen Ling, a registered TCM physician and acupuncturist from Beijing Tong Ren Tang Science Arts, located at Alexandra Hospital, has been suspended for a year and fined S$2,000 for professional misconduct and negligence.

She was found guilty of leaving a patient in the clinic in the middle of an acupuncture treatment and getting an unqualified person to remove the acupuncture needles.

Another practitioner, 37-year-old Choa Jer Huei, who runs his own TCM clinic at Block 151 Bishan Street 11, was fined S$3,000 for breaching the confidentiality of his patients' medical records.

61-year-old Lim Khiam Khoon of Qian Jin Zhui Chinese Physician Recuperate Centre at 282A Changi Road was fined S$500 for allowing nude photographs of himself to be published in the media.

The trio were censured and ordered to pay costs and expenses incurred by the investigation committee in the inquiry.
