Q: Is it true that Chinese doctors accept bribes to perform better?

I've heard Chinese friends tell me horror stories of doctors doing half-hearted operations and not dispensing the best anesthetics to those who don't offer them extra cash. My friend said she had no choice but to give 5000 RMB extra to a doctor operating on her husband to guarantee that he would pull through. Has anyone heard of similar stories? This is horrifying!
