#Mingde Property Management responds to Qingdao University Dorm Manager passing away.”
“According to the “Situation Explanation” that Qingdao University published in the morning of the 7th of July, around 7:30AM 6th of July, a worker was discovered to be in an abnormal physical condition in said school’s Fushan campus. The school immediately called 120 [ambulance] and the police, as well as informed his family. EMS arrived to confirm that said worker had already unfortunately passed away. Police investigation eliminated the possibility of a criminal case. The specific cause is still under investigation.
Our company expresses our deepest sympathies about this incident, and we give our regrets about this sad loss of life. We have confirmed that the dorms are not an area under our company’s property management responsibility, and the deceased worker is not an employee or contractor employed by our company.
Please delete all rumors circulating the internet regarding this. At the same time, our company reserves the right to persecute rumormongers with the law. We hope all netizens will not believe rumors, not spread rumors, and work together to maintain a clear internet space.”
[Rumour speculate that he passed away from heatstroke, because it’s been in the news the last couple of days that Shandong has been hit by a particularly bad heat wave, and most universities didn’t have AC in the dorm rooms.]
Comments say, “So whose responsibility is it?”
“So which company was he working for?”
“Either way, he died on the job.”
“Somebody needs to investigate this school.”
“I used to know this foreign guy. We’re both post-doc researchers in neuro-linking, and we got along super well. We were kinda flirty, but after going on two dates, he invited me out to an uninhabited valley, and as we looked out over the empty valley, he asked if I could accept being child free.
I asked why he insisted on never having kids.
He said that his parents were Catholics who had 13 kids together. Ever since he had memories, he was studying as hard as he could to escape that crowded environment.
Every Thanksgiving, his three relatives all have a dozen kids, and there are 40-50 kids at every family gathering. There’s people crowded on every staircase, people sleeping all over the floor.
Every day, when he goes into the kitchen for food or water, he has to fight over it with countless people. He has no moment of peace to read a book.
Every since he became an adult, all he wants to do is perform experiments in a quiet lab. And on weekends, he’ll drive to explore uninhabited valleys.
He wants to find a girl who also hates kids as his wife. He never wants to listen to another kid in his life.
At the time, I couldn’t understand why he’d say that. I actually quite like kids. So that was the end of our relationship.
Now…after seeing too many families with too many kids, I’m starting to understand him.”
Comments say, “God, my heart was in my throat when you said “uninhabited valley.””
“”This is why I never envy big family reunions. My dad has 7 brothers, and every one of them have two kids. And now all my cousins have married and had their own kids. Among all three generations, there’s gotta be 60 people. I just want some peace and quiet. I haven’t gone back to my hometown in almost 10 years.”
“My neighboring auntie is the oldest in her family. Her mom had bad health so she had to raise all her siblings. For years, most of her nightmares are about holding onto a screaming infant with no idea what to do. And she’s relieved every time she wakes up to realize that she’s still single and childfree.”
“Guys, don’t always get your checkups at the same hospital. Go to a couple different hospitals for your checkups, because you have no idea how they’re coming up with your reports.
I work at the best hospital at a certain city in my IP, and this is what I saw while I was interning there:
Revisits highly rely on historical reports: the standard operating procedure is just to copy paste old reports onto new ones, and then change the data slightly. (This process means that the doctor is always focused on your old problems, and can easily miss whether or not you have any new developing conditions).
Sometimes, the changes in the data didn’t come from tests at all: Even if the doctor completely forgot to test for something, in order to avoid taking on responsibility, they’ll make up a number that looks about right. (I’ve watched with my own eyes that the doctor didn’t actually save any pictures of the scans, but they’ll just copy paste an image from past reports and edit the decimal points a bit.
All the numbers about your organ function, blood vessel conditions, blood flow, etc, might all be made up: The doctor’ll take a look and think everything looks right, and then to save time, they’ll just make up numbers in the appropriate range to put in the report so they don’t actually have to run any tests. It all depends on your doctor’s skill level.
What to do:
Don’t always get checkups at the same hospital. You can find another hospital of the same size or a bigger hospital for your checkup. Compare the results from different hospitals.
When you go to a new hospital, you can tell doctors that you’ve had issues with whatever part of your body, but don’t tell them the exact stats or position. Just give a vague description. That way, the doctors won’t be stuck with old results.”
Comments say, “It’s true, if you go to a different hospital, they can often find different problems. I’m from Shanghai, and the doctors at Ruijin and Zhongshan have all told me to not get all my tests done at the same hospital. Especially if it’s something that involves radiology making a call based on their past experience, I should definitely get a couple of second opinions.”
“And a Director’s told me that don’t just lie down at an ultrasound and tell the doctor what’s wrong with you. Let them figure it out for themselves. If you tell them what’s wrong, that’s the only place they’ll check, and they’ll ignore everything else.”
“It’s true. They found a cyst in me at the school hospital in college, and transferred me to get surgery at the associated hospital. And then they found it was an ovarian cyst that was a bit too big and required surgery. And then the cyst burst during surgery, and the doctor had to remove my ovary and fallopian tube on one side. And they never even informed my family. Nobody knew. I did all my post-surgery checkups at that hospital, including the revisit after I’ve been discharged. And none of the reports ever showed a problem. It wasn’t until I wanted to get an IUD and my friend mentioned I should go to a different hospital, that I went to a bigger one and found out that I was missing an ovary. Yeah, the hospital just quietly cut it off.”
“A reminder, you can always get a second opinion at a different hospital, but you need to be careful with radiology. There’s limits on anything with radiation. Frequently changing hospitals and getting more X-rays or CT-scans might increase cancer risks. You should just bring your images from the last hospital to the new one to have them look at it. Without your images, they doctors have to scan you again.”
“Can they give false positives on HPV?”
“I’ve gotten a positive on my HPV test last year, but after a few days, I went to a different hospital and it was negative. Then about two days ago, I went back to the first hospital and it was negative. I’m pretty sure the first test was screwed up.”
“It’s true. When I got sick, my mom used to take me to the hospital in town, and it wouldn’t get better for months, and I even ended up with hemolytic anaemia. We went to Chongqing’s Second Children’s Hospital to check what medicine was causing the anaemia, and they cured my IgA Vasculitis in two weeks. The town hospital treated me for months and even made me drop out of school. All they were doing was giving me hormones. And now my face is super big and I’m really insecure about it. I highly suspect they were just trying to hit their KPI. They didn’t know how to deal with it but insisted that they treat it. My mom didn’t know what she was doing and didn’t know we should go to a bigger hospital. Sigh.”
“It’s true, upvoted. I’m at Fudan for cancer, and the images between here and Zhongshan university are night and day. I don’t even know what to say. They’re both top hospitals.”
“Forget two hospitals. Even two doctors at the same hospitals could produce completely different results. But some things aren’t that important.”
“Some of these incompetent doctors really annoy me. I’ve went to the ob/gyn department in a hospital in Nantong before (female doctor had a shitty attitude). They briefly tested my vaginal discharge and said I had cervical ectropian. It traumatised me for half a year. When I got back to Chongqing, I wanted to get a full check up (tct, HPV), but nothing showed up. You really gotta avoid incompetent doctors.”
“I know which hospital you’re talking about. The biggest hospital in the universe, right? They’re so lazy. Last time I went to get an ob/gyn checkup, it was just a small inflammation and it cost me over 2000RMB. I could go to the state hospital and just spend a couple hundred on the test and the meds.”
“A couple of years ago, I went to get my kidney stones looked at, and the town hospital said 33mm. Went to a better hospital (still a town hospital but a different town, and higher ranked than the one in my hometown), and they said 22mm. Both needed surgery, but that’s a big different. I don’t even know who to believe.”
“I’ve had 4 or 5 heart ECGs done at two different hospitals, and they all said nothing was wrong. Then I got a CT scan and found that my main artery was extra wide. I had another ECG done and this time, the doctor was extra careful. And then he said I had a heart defect. If it wasn’t for my artery getting wider, I never would’ve known I had a heart defect my whole life. What are the doctors even running these tests for?”
“Right? Radiology is super important. I went to a different hospital for my lung nodule, and they said something different too. The surgeon said that it looked pretty bad and I needed surgery. I took a copy of the original scan and found a good radiologist on Haodaifu [app to consult doctors online] and he went over all the data and said it was just an inflammation and it’s already getting better.”
#No AC in dorms so school arranges students to sleep in library. “6th of July, Shandong Yantai, according to media reports, Yantai has had several days of high heat. Yantai’s Nanshan College Donghai Campus has no installed AC in dorms. Students are overheated to the point of spending nights in supermarkets for the AC. Some students even had to be sent to the hospital for heat stroke. Many students choose to rent off campus, causing hotels and B&Bs around the school to rise in price. Some students have moved to sleeping in the library. Reporters have called many hotels and B&Bs around the school, which all explained that they’ve received so many orders from college students that their rooms are all booked out, though they haven’t raised prices too much.
Some netizens post that said school has opened up the library for students to sleep in. Red Star News reports have confirmed with school administration that they have already arranged the student union to organise students to sleep in the library. School leadership is holding meetings to continue work in this area.”
Comments say, “Check if the international students in this school sleep in two-person dorms with AC, mini-fridges, and washing machines.”
“Look into this school’s budget. See if they’ve already spent money on ACs.”
“Look, you can not use your AC, but you’ve got to have one.”
