My experience at Ruijin was also terrible. My wife is going elsewhere to have her bub in November based on my personal experience, as follows:
I went one afternoon with a badly infected shoulder that was spreading through my neck and chest, and – in front of my then employer and wife mind you – the admitting doctor suggested, with a barely even cursory examination, of the problem, that:
1) I should go back to my own country for treatment for probable cancer
2) It might be leukaemia
3) Maybe I’ve got AIDS – oh, do you go to prosititutes? She opined. No, never, but I imagined the beside manner is probably better. I imagine it would also a good deal cheaper.
She ordered a battery of, mostly superfluous, tests and prescribed antibiotics which I had already written down I was allergic to. Then an alternative, also on the list of allergic reactions.
Nearly 2,000RMB later I was out the door and absolutely nothing useful achieved, and still with a very high fever and barely able to move with pain.
After that we’d all concluded that I had in fact seen a working girl – but this one was wearing a white coat and stethoscope.
FWIW My wife’s happy with the Pudong branch of Shanghai’s 1st Baby and Maternal Hospital
