An ED registrar who posted pictures of dead babies and women on social media has told a tribunal his online behaviour was “causally linked” to his then-undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder.  

Dr Christopher Kwan Chen Lee was suspended under emergency powers in 2019 after complaints about his posts on Singaporean internet forums, including intimate photos of his wife that he shared without her permission and identifiable images of his patients and their medical records. 

At a hearing last month, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal described Dr Lee’s posts, intended to be provocative, as “extreme misogynistic commentary” and “xenophobic, racist, bigoted or discriminatory commentary”. 

In response to a comment asking what Dr Lee would do if his wife filed for divorce, he said: “Slice her open from sternum to anus, rip out her entrails and bathe in her blood.”
