I needed to go to the hospital so I took the school bus. I saw that our school
nurse got off at the same stop. She asked me where I live. My experience at the
hospital was frustrating. My hip pain had become severe and I spent 80 Kuai to
see the doctor. He asked me to lie down on the bed, examined me for a minute, and suggested an x-ray and MRI, even though I had already had such scans before. I decided not to have them, even though I would be able to claim reimbursement from my insurance company. I
just didn't want to waste the resource.
I still remember an incident that happened not long ago. A former president of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital had been taken into custody. Property valued at 300 to 400 million Yuan was
discovered during a search of his residence. The motherland is restless, sick and has no way to survive anymore.
