A GYNAECOLOGIST suspended from practising here for two years after his affair with a patient has had the book thrown at him in Britain as well.

Dr Yeong Cheng Toh, 44, was in London when the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) sanctioned him in February 2008 for his affair, during which he changed his lover's medical records and revealed details about another patient to her.

In January this year, a British panel also suspended him from practice for a year from the London fertility clinic where he had found employment.
