And I left chuckling to myself. I saw a couple of the Chinese people laugh. Its the only way to deal with this silliness of them watching us all the time. The hospital is a real experience too. The first thing that you notice is that it is the most filthy, dingy, dimly-lit, depressing place in Kunming.
People here hack up phlegm and spit it on the ground in many restaurants.
So, what I'm saying is that the hospital is even worse, even though they actually have spitoons stragicially placed in the hallways. Once you get past the Turkish prison atmosphere and wondering if they keep it looking like this to prevent people from getting sick, you begin to see the people suffering from a wide variety of really serious pathologies. This is an amazing opportunity for us to learn the depth of our medicine. In the acupuncture clinic in the states, we don't see too much Bell's palsy, congestive heart disease, or other things of this kind of nature. But that's all we're dealing with all day here.
