China Tier-2 city public hospital experience 🧵with photos
I've been struggling with some facial pain for a couple of years that 20 doctors in Serbia and two in the US could not figure out what it is (separate story). It's not sinuses, teeth, allergies or infection, or any sort of tumor. Doctors have pretty much given up on me, and the next specialist was to be a psychiatrist (not kidding).
Anyway, I've managed to figure out what it is MYSELF: something to do with the tear duct. Simply because of the location of the pain. There are not a lot of things there, no organs like the heart or kidneys. Just some nasal tissue, tear duct, sinuses. Sinuses it is not. Nasal tissue it is not.
Both the CT scan and the MRI (done for sinuses and neck) show the right tear duct shadowed but the doctors said that doesn't matter and it's not that. Then what is it? Magic? God is punishing me for something?
So last week I saw a private eye clinic here in Qingdao, told them my theory, and they too were a little suspicious, but the doctor said go do another CT, this one is 2 years old. She recommended a nearby public hospital.
So I went today. Looked it up and it was 6 subway stops from my house. It's called Huangdao Central Hospital. Your typical large Chinese public hospital with all kinds of departments.
I left home about 1:30 pm and was at the hospital a little before 2pm.
How China negotiates drug prices (this is after 3 initial offers from the pharma rep). What a government that actually seeks the best interests of its people looks like
Cultists of FLG, short for Fa Lun Gong (法轮功),
a right wing cult sponsored by the @CIA, advocating "freedom of speech" until freedom of speech spills the beans about them. 😂 Fucking 🤡
