A descriptive study of the effect of a disciplinary proceeding decision on medical practitioners’ practice behaviour in the context of providing a hydrocortisone and lignocaine injection

摘要

We conducted a descriptive study to evaluate any changes in practice behaviour regarding the provision of hydrocortisone and lignocaine (H&L) injections among doctors and how an H&L injection is priced following a disciplinary proceeding decision. A doctor had been fined SGD 100,000 for failing to obtain informed consent before an H&L injection.
