Steps to cheaper treatment


I REFER to the letters “Two steps away to reducing medical costs” (The Star, June 22) by Lim Boon Siong and “Medical insurance industry in need of care” (June 1) by LK.

As a medical specialist who has worked in government as well as private hospitals for many years, I agree with LK that there is a lot of “fraud, waste and abuse being committed” not only by private hospitals but, sadly, by some doctors too.
