A doctor at Tuen Mun Hospital was fired for conducting an unauthorized examination on a patient. This incident is linked to a previous case where an intern was dismissed and arrested for accessing patient data without permission.
A doctor at Tuen Mun Hospital has been fired for conducting an unauthorised examination on a patient, in an incident linked to an intern who was sacked and arrested for allegedly accessing patient data without permission.
The Hospital Authority (HA) said on Monday evening that its investigation committee concluded that the resident doctor acted dishonestly and committed serious misconduct, in breach of professional ethics and integrity.
The resident doctor was involved in conducting an unauthorised examination on a patient at Ruttonjee Hospital, the authority said, adding that it “unequivocally condemned” the conduct in question.
“The incident is linked to an intern doctor who was previously dismissed for a series of serious misconducts,” it said.
The case will be referred to the Medical Council for follow-up, it added.
“The HA has absolutely zero tolerance for any form of behaviour that undermines the professional conduct of doctors,” it said.
