Q: Can a foreigner still go to a Chinese hospital in Shanghai?

My friend broke his wrist and he said they wouldnt accept him at any chinese hospitals. I need to go to a hospital to get blood work and a refill on my medicine. I have always just went to Chinese hospitals in the past for this. He had to pay 1000 just to see the doctor at a foreign clinic.

Never heard of this before. I've had a few friends, in Guangzhou, who have needed treatment in public hospitals.

Stay away of the Hospitals as much as you can!

 

I'm in Kaifeng, Henan, and having some complicated fix done on my chew. Dentist is in the Hospital associated with Henan University, and her assistants address her with 'laucher'. 

After my first visit with Chinese English speaker, ya-yi got some assistant, 20y old girl with good English, who's sitting by my chair during the re-modeling.

Chinese dentist will first ask patient to be steady/still on the chair, while she's cleaning extraction hole. It's painful procedure, and can't be done without anesthetic.

I replied: 'I have to move, when you touch the nerve, because it hurts. Why don't u use Novocain before the procedure?'

Only after some 10' talk and my convincing to numb my chew, she got me anesthetic.

Of course I paid for it, but I don't understand why all the hesitation to use the painkiller. In West, MD will apply sedative as soon as patient shows first signs of pain, and in China it looks permission of the patient is required first.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
