'The public is being sold increasingly sophisticated tests, devices, machines and procedures that have little long-term scientific evidence.'

PROFESSOR FENG PAO HSII, chairman, National Arthritis Foundation: 'I congratulate Professor Tommy Koh who chose his words wisely ('Why prostate test is being peddled'; last Saturday). The unsuspecting public is being sold increasingly sophisticated tests, devices, state-of-the-art machines and various procedures that have very little long-term scientific evidence. Medicine is now at a crossroads. Should it be a higher calling or just another profession or trade in the ordinary marketplace?'
