Upon the publication of our first book, "What killed my dad?:Reflections on how to make your hospital stay safer" on 9 January 2009, the cancer site of Cancerstory.com became dormant.

220 copies were printed and fully sold out on 5 June 2009. We are glad to receive favourable readers' feedback. A favourable book review was published in SMA News March 2009.

On 27 July 2009, its second edition (50 copies) with a new book title, "Autopsy on the Hospital:What killed my dad?" was released and sold out on 31 July 2009.

Commemorative Edition

"Are Hospitals Safe?:What killed my dad?" was released on 2 October 2009 to mark the first death anniversary of my beloved father, 化悲伤为力量, 著文书阐遗训. It was sold out on 26 January 2010.

This is the first book written by a community-spirited individual that has provided a frank, structured and constructive critique of the public hospital system in Singapore. A favourable book review was published in the NTUC Lifestyle Magazine, November 2009.

There is no book reprint. However, if the book is needed for teaching purposes in medical/nursing schools and public hospitals, a book reprint will be released.

"SIP" aims to help in preserving a pool of ethical, responsible and dedicated doctors and nurses. They are the pillars of the healthcare system and hence they have an important relationship to patient safety and quality of care in public hospitals.

"SIP" is literally the act of sipping, and hence it will take time for "Smart-Chips" to be successfully "implanted" into the recipients. It can only succeed when patients and their family members are willing to come forward to identify and nominate doctors and nurses (in public medical institutions) to receive "Smart-Chips".
