Day 3

Further probing into the details allowed us to discover even more alarming information. It was initially discovered, in an x-ray done prior to the operation, that a bullet-shaped object was found somewhere in the intestine. Instead of immediately doing a biopsy, the doctor proceeded with the operation as if he could tell whether the object was cancerous just by looking at it. It is entirely absurd to say that with the naked eye, one could tell whether it is malignant or benign.

We will continue to seek our Singaporean doctor, whose reputation spreads across both countries (even Dr Chua knows him) for his expert opinion this week again.

Meantime, it's a long drive back to Singapore.
