I think I told this story in an earlier iteration of this thread, but it's worth sharing again. Right when I got to Mongolia another volunteer's Mongolian co-worker had to go to the capital city to get surgery. She had some sort of abdominal cancer, but they caught it really early so they were hopeful that they could do a surgery and remove it. The lady took a few weeks off work to go have this surgery and after it was over doctor was like "Okay awesome, well come back in a year and we'll do another checkup, but I think everything will be fine". So this woman, who was only about 30, was super relieved and got a new lease on life. A year later she went back to the hospital. She had a new doctor this time and they did a bunch of tests to see if the cancer was still in remission. As it turns out, doctor #1 had performed the wrong operation and removed something that was not at all cancerous while leaving the inflicted tissue untouched. I have no idea if he knew he had done it or not. But it had progressed so much in this time that doctor #2 said "There's nothing we can do about it anymore". The Mongolian lady ended up spending tons of money flying to South Korea to see specialists and they told her basically the same thing, that if they had caught it earlier and properly removed it she might have survived. The other Peace Corps Volunteer attended that woman's funeral like a month before she CoS'd and went back home to America.

Haier posted:It is absolutely necessary to see whether the foreigner or local is black, tanned, Indian, or less than pure white/yellow so they can be dismissed or considered. For a very short time I used to work for one of those shady internship agencies in China, where people form outside China would pay us to have them placed in some company in China. The company I worked for had no network or business contacts at all, and would just take the candidates CV's translate into Chinese and upload on 51job and hope someone would contact them. This being China of course the CV's needed pictures, but a lot of our customers were not used to that. I remember one guy really not wanting to put a picture on his CV, our head of recruiting trying to convincing him said "but imagine if you are the company, and a black person applies, wouldn't you want to know right away?". Most of our customers were Africans anyway. I quit shortly after that. That whole company was so painfully unprofessional in everything they did.

It's usually fake unless its a dashcam speaking of dashcams i just remembered theres a really good chinese news segment educating and warning the public about the turn radius and blind-spots of those big construction trucks. the first two minutes of the segment are a traffic cam montage of people getting their heads messily pressed flat on the asphalt because they dont respect these huge vehicles and practically stand under them as they drive past like im just imagining transformers running around and battling in Shanghai and pedestrians just strolling between their legs in the crosswalk and getting pulverized.

Pon de Bundy posted:what was the point of that story In the old thread the point was about face culture and medicine in east vs west. Basically see a doctor in the west they will say they don't know and its kinda nerv racking to not get any answers in the east the doctor is very self confident and spins a huge pile of bullshit, that is rather comforting but basically wrong. Doctors are fallible creatures, and when they are it can cost lives.

Pon de Bundy posted:what was the point of that story Don't go to Chinese Doctors in China. As DM said, a western trained doctor might not know what is wrong with you, but in knowing that you go seek out other doctors who might figure out what is wrong. The whole medicine based on the scientific method is key and you have a reasonable confidence that the doctor you are seeing isn't some quack who values face/ego/ripping you off who gives out TCM. Even if a western trained doctor happens to operate in the wrong place, the follow up which wouldn't be a *year* away would likely catch the error and be able to correct in time. Western medicine has it's own issues, but you aren't going to be feed BS the moment you walk through the door.

That, and in the west the tissue would've been tested post surgery and when it showed up as not cancerous they'd immediately follow up to figure it out.

It makes sense to me now that the entirety of us foreign policy over the past 40 years has been about respecting China's face culture.

I heard a story on I think NPR where ano American was living in china and went to the hospital for respiratory problems. The doctors told him has terminal lung cancer so he left China to go back to the states to die. He stopped in Italy and the way home and got checked again who told him it was just pneumonia or something.
