Not much to show photo ways as I have been sick with a cold. It's hard to imagine that I also managed a Chinese hospital experience in my first week also,but....i did.
My friend Swallow was worried about my cough and took me to the hospital (even with my complaints).I think if the school was properly open I would have been able to go to the medical facilities there, but of course we don't start until next week. It is a totally different health care system to Australia. I was scared, I mean really scared..there's no dilly dallying around, it was blood tests, chest/lung x-rays, along with routine check of temperature etc. The thing is though, we walked in paid hardly any money (very cheap health care costs)walked straight into the doctor (no wait)walked to another room and had the blood test (no wait) went to another room and had the chest x-ray (no wait). Got given the x-ray pictures walked back via the blood test room got given the blood test results, stopped back at the doctors room and get told what he thinks is wrong. This was at about 7.30 pm. We would have been finished in about half an hour....I couldn't believe it..Anyway...the verdict ....Bad cold
I'm on antibiotics.

Sue,
I am sorry about the bad experience you had. Yes, that kind of medical examination is normal in the Chinese medical system, which is still under revolution.
I think paying more attention to your diet during this period should be very necessary, as you may need a bit more time to make your body to adjust to the mostly different environment from the one you were in. And taking more rest should be helpful.
Hope you will recover soon.
Take care,
Katat
oh, i'm so sorry for you, mate :( hope, you'll be fine in a day or two after all the chinese have got their own effective ways in medicine, so don't worry.
