Public confidence in the medical profession would have been dampened if no restrictions were placed on two doctors accused by a woman of taking advantage of vulnerable patients for sex, the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) said.
The published grounds of decision, issued on Wednesday by the Interim Orders Committee (IOC) set up to look into this case, noted that details of the allegations had appeared in The Straits Times on April 10.
