SINGAPORE – The doctor was seeing his first patient for the evening on Oct 5 when a staff member burst into his office to say there was someone bleeding in the clinic.
It was around 6pm when Joel Lee from The Local Doctor Clinic at 61 Telok Blangah Heights stepped outside his office. He saw a bleeding man aided by two others, who said the man had been stabbed.
The injured 53-year-old man, who was bleeding from his left shoulder, told Lee to help someone else instead.
He said a 73-year-old man had also been stabbed and was at a nearby coffee shop in a worse condition.
Lee told him to put pressure on the wound and rushed to the coffee shop.
