    While Jac scored As in history, literature and Chinese in her GCE A-level examinations in 2011, Dr Lee admitted that it would be arduous for Jac to navigate a university campus and take part in class discussions.

    Contacted for a comment on the chain of events triggered by her column, Dr Lee had only one word to offer: “Compassion.”

    Dr Lee said she chose to practise medicine in the public sector as she wanted to serve all patients, without having to consider whether they could pay her fees.

    She believed that the biggest challenge facing medicine in Singapore was the struggle between two incentives that drive doctors in opposite directions – the humanitarian, ethical, compassionate drive to do the best by all patients, versus the cold, calculating attitude that seeks to profit from as many patients as possible.
