Q: English speaking gynecologist?

Does anyone know where I can find an English speaking gynecologist in Ningbo or Hangzhou? I see there's an OBGYN in Shanghai but I'd rather not travel there. But if I have to then I will. Has anyone been to the one in Shanghai? Ladies, what are your experiences with gynecologists here in China? Good or bad?

would not go near a gynecologist in China (or any other medical 'professional').

If you need this kind of examination or treatment, you are better off going in your home country.

mainly becasue you are likely to find one of the following:

1) incorrect diagnosis - i know this from a friends experience of China's health system.

2) someone who will prescribe 'medication' for the sake of a kick-back.

3) a 'professional' with a purient interest in non-Chinese bodies.

4) members of the public (or other random people) wandering in to the room during your examination.

5) your examination being recorded and posted online - this apparently happens very often with operations.

6) you will be extorted because you are foreign.

7) you will probably waste at least half a day waiting.

8) a combination of any of the above.

 

bottom line.

don't waste your time or money.

if you really care about your health, wait until you are back in your home country for any examination or treatment.

 

It is nearly the Lunar New Year so chances are you will be leaving the country anyway.

 

my bet is that some random alias will post a spam to this question

sorrel:

i could add, that if think you will require any long-term treatment, you definately do not want to trust the Chinese health system.

 

1) your health insurance is unlikely to cover the extortionist costs that would be incurred.

2) if you were super-weathly, you are unlikely to stay in China for treatment as even the super-wealthy are heath-tourists.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
