over Chong's case after Dr Lim Djoe Phing's operation. Dr Khoo told IO Avadiar that Chong was seriously ill with meningitis and also suffered from brain fluid leakage that arose as a complication of the surgery, as well as severe headaches and vomiting. Dr Khoo opined that Dr Lim's surgery had possibly damaged the third nerve of her right eye and also her pituitary gland, which resulted in diabetes in Chong's case. Dr Ong Peck Leong, another neurosurgeon who handled Chong's case after her re-hospitalization, told IO Avadiar that he had to conduct another surgery to stem the brain fluid leakage and also stated that when he first met Chong, he discovered that she was in a very bad shape due to meningitis for the past two weeks or so, and there was an infection that happened as a result of the meningitis. Dr Ong also said that the tear in Chong's brain membrane was most likely caused by Dr Lim's operation on Chong back in June 1985, and her condition was worsened due to improper attention paid to the meningitis, and her discharge back then should not have happened.
415:, in addition to a mood disorder. According to Chong's brother, who was now the only surviving child of Chong's parents, his mother was originally a mild-mannered lady who underwent a personality change after his sister died, as she stopped cooking for her family, became overprotective of her son and even quarreled with her husband, and she additionally went to Dr Tham's clinic to abuse him, smashing some glass and banging some cupboards. Judicial Commissioner Amarjeet Singh ruled in this case that given the circumstances of Chong's death back in 1985 and its severely adverse impact on her mother's psychiatric health for the past seven years, Dr Lim was to compensate for the damages that arose in Chong's death case and hence, he awarded Chong's mother a sum of S$ 30,000 for "nervous shock" and a separate amount of more than S$ 325,351 in total for Chong's family.

still receiving intravenous drips, continued to be in pain and her condition grew even worse over the next few days. After Dr Lim berated Chong's family for repeatedly calling him regarding her condition, Chong's family were left with no other option but to seek the help of other doctors to treat Chong, who was once again hospitalized. Dr Ong Peck Leong, one of the doctors who took over Chong's case, had to operate on Chong to close the opening in her skull, which caused the brain fluid leakage and in turn, lead to an infection due to the bacteria entering the opening and therefore caused meningitis. Despite subsequent treatments and another two surgeries, Chong eventually died as a result of meningitis and pituitary tumour. An autopsy was not done on Chong after her death due to the bereaved family not consenting to it.

hormonal readings, and Dr
Tambyah said that the surgery was not needed at all in the first place, and he also stated that the brain leakage would have been averted if immediate steps, such as the prescription of antibiotics, had been taken and the infection would, in turn, be avoided. Dr Low Chen Hoong, a radiologist who had conducted scans on Chong under Dr Lim's request, also told the police that although his scans confirmed the possibility of a brain tumour in Chong's case, he stated that a scan alone was not accurate to determine whether Chong had brain cancer or not, as there should be an additional hormone level test and at least four radiological tests to ascertain and confirm this possibility, but he did not do it as Dr Lim did not ask for further tests, which Dr Low felt should have been done.

possession of Dr Seah Han Cheow, a veteran forensic pathologist who received it from Dr Lim after the surgery. During police questioning, Dr Seah confirmed that based on his examination of the tissue sample, he found it to be consistent with a pituitary tumour and bone fragment. A second medical opinion was later sought by police to verify the accuracy of Dr Seah's reports, and after examination from Dr
Gilbert Chiang, a senior consultant pathologist, he found that the tissue was neither cancerous nor a tumour, but normal gland tissue, giving rise to the possibility that Chong did not have brain cancer in the first place. This led to the police sending the case for a coroner's inquiry, and Dr Lim Djoe Phing was suspected to have committed medical malpractice in his treatment of Chong.
314:
his findings were countered by Dr
Gilbert Chiang, who stated that the tissue sample showed that it was normal cellular tissue of the pituitary gland, and a tumour would have had one uniform cell type without any discernable pattern, which was not proven by his examination of the tissue sample. Dr Chiang also told the court that he had sent two samples of the tissue to England for further medical opinions from the world-renowned pathologists based there, and they agreed with Dr Chiang that this was not a tumour. Several other medical experts - including Dr Ong Peck Leong, Dr James Khoo, Dr Low Chen Hoong and Dr John Tambyah - were also called to testify on the exact medical condition of Chong.

further check-ups, and he even disagreed that the official cause of Chong's death was meningitis, and also stated that the fainting spell sustained by Chong back in March 1985 was not a simple fainting attack but rather caused by bleeding in the pituitary or an epileptic fit. When cross-examined by Isaac, Firth rejected the lawyer's suggestion that the cause of death was due to Dr Lim's negligence, and he also stated it was unnecessary for further tests to avoid confusion and delaying surgery. Isaac, in his rebuttal to Firth's testimony, stated that the only reason why Dr Lim did not bother to make further tests was because he wanted to operate on Chong "at all costs".
458:, agreed to be interviewed in the episode, and Avadiar stated that the case of Chong's death was one of his most complicated cases he ever handled to date, especially where he had to deal with unfamiliar medical terms and he was grateful for the help of various medical experts he consulted throughout the investigation of Chong's death. The episode also covered the explanation of how the coroner's court functioned and its duty in handling death cases where the cause of death would be ascertained through the coroner's inquiry.

A few days later, the nose pad was removed and at this point, Chong started to experience brain fluid leakage through her nose, and she also got blurred vision and a high fever. Chong began to show signs of meningitis, an infection of a membrane in her brain, and she also suffered from severe headaches, which made her turn to painkillers prescribed by the medical staff. Additionally, brain fluid continued to leak out of her nose since the end of the surgery.

Professor Chao testified that the cause of Chong's death was indeed meningitis, which was a complication from Dr Lim's operation on Chong, and he told the coroner that it was effectively proven that a causal link existed between the operation and Chong's death. Professor Chao also pointed out that Chong was discharged by Dr Lim even though she was still experiencing symptoms and signs of
