Q: what a mission

man going to the Shenzhen Childrens Hospital  was  a mission

 

my little  boy has been sick,he caught a bad cold,got a fever and bad cough sore throat and he has not been eating.I took him to the Shenzhen Childrens Hospital.

 

1st you have a pay to get a number to see the doctor 3rd floor,

 

The doctor was very nice,she said you need to get a blood test done and an x ray so I go and get an X Ray on the 2nd floor got told you have to go to the 1st floor to pay so i go to the 1st floor back up to the 2nd floor get the x ray done,then go to the 3rd floor to get the blood test done.

 

then once I had all the results and the x ray back down to see the doctor.The doctor told me he has bronchitis,so then I go back down to the 1st floor to pay then I go and get the medicine.

 

 

up and down up and down up and down,so many children sick so many people so many times you have to pay

Oh man, the hospitals...

 

I understand there are usually not enough staff to quickly handle all the patients in a hospital, but god why does it have to be such a mission every single time? There must be a better way to do it.

 

There is a certain, cynical kind of system which I do understand. You don't get any kind of service until you have paid..  if they didn't have this system people just wouldn't pay.

 

You usually see people there in all sorts of shit state... it's a hospital after all .. and usually they have family or whoever helping them by going to this window to pay, then lining up to show someone the receipt so you can see a doc who will send you off somewhere else...

 

But what happens if you're having a heart attack, or just got stabbed and are bleeding out, or you got hit by a taxi and have shattered bones? You manage to crawl into the hospital and then what? Do you die because you can't walk up the stairs and wait for 35 minutes to get a piece of paper so you can walk back down the stairs to wait in another line to pay ( hope you have money on you otherwise it's a crawl to the nearest ATM) then go to wait in line somewhere else and... well. 

 

I've landed in hospital myself  but I was lucky, I wasn't in a serious condition,I had people to help me and more than enough cash so I was Ok, but when I was waiting there I couldn't help wondering what I would have done if I didn't have help or I wasn't able to move or communicate.

Yeah man....I hear ya....it 's not fun...but I found you can get any service quite fast since you pay.  Depends on the hospital.

It is the same at 'laowai ME'!

 

It takes some 3 - 6 hours to finish no more than 4 different exams (lab, X-ray, .... and MD's body check-up in the end).

 

It isn't organized western way, but with loads of waiting in front of the empty departments ... then, MD show-up, while I was sitting with rep. there for an hour already.

 

I was always at ME with rep. and I don't think I could do it alone .... Why not? Because they use only one language in the whole Hospital ... all doors and different depts. are marked with characters. Why is that, if Hospital is for foreign crew only?

 

I am sure, if there would be Hospital in West for Chinese only, we would for sure use characters, beside English written signs.

Hotwater:

You should move to Guangdong, it's easy here. I've done the medical three times now on my own. Taken no more than two hours each time. Here they use 2.5 languages. Cantonese, Mandarin & Chinglish!

My ME sites: Jixian, Hebei; Dalian, Liaoning; Fuk, Xinjiang; Jianou, Fujian; Kaifeng, Henan; Guiyang, Guizhou; .... never did it alone!

 

It would be quite simple all around China, if they would use our (my) logic: 'if patients are coming to Hospital from abroad, get dual signs onto the Hospital walls!'

Need for MDs to speak foreign language isn't necessary., IMO!

Everybody was in the lab before China and knows how to pull sleeve up on the R arm ... indecision... and step onto the weight and size scale .... I've never wanted to discuss biology&anatomy with MDs at ME exam in China.

Well, the my wife knows all the high-uppers in my town cause if you have a competent IELTS Chinese teacher in a smaller city it means you know all the high-hitters. 

 

So she pretty much knows all the hospital directors in my city... 

 

Yeah I know, it's awesome.

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
