Chris Pearce is an Orthopaedic Surgeon who was born in Hong Kong, trained in London and now lives and works in Singapore.
In Part 1 of Singapore Sling, we catch up, just around the time that Singapore is entering its second wave of the COVID-19, coronavirus pandemic.
Chris talks frankly about the measures put in place to lockdown a country that has previously suffered terrible loss of life, particularly among Medics, during the previous SARS epidemic.
He also explains the effect that the lockdown has had on Elective Surgery, particularly Orthopaedic Surgery waiting times.
