Rural Chinese Doctors Office
This was an unexpected detour. I don't know how people can live out here without a car or mode of transportation.
It wasn't too far if your in a car but I can imagine walking it while feeling ill would probably be a long trip. It was in a large building, well, large for out here but only occupied a very small part of it.
You can see a pile of coal beside the door. Coal is dirt cheap in China, literally, I bet dirt costs more. It has a light steel door that goes directly in to his practice. It was one room, the office, the pharmacy, the waiting room and it seems his bedroom.
One of the differences I noticed between Chinese doctor offices and the ones in Canada, aside of everything, is that doctors here are also pharmacists. They diagnose you free or cheap and then sell you the medicine they prescribe. Out here in the middle of nowhere I doubt he gets many patients.
There is a more modern hospital near the highway by the small shops and the new school if it's something more serious than what this little office can handle. Not much of anything around here accept more farm fields and worn of roads. Keeps out the riff raff I say.
Very nice post, I loved it!And all the pictures from this place look just special to me.Chinese doctors don’t usually charge too much for the diagnose,but the do sell you lots of medicine later😊
This remembers me village hospitals in my country.
it must be very difficult @solarguy
“Coal is dirt cheap in China, literally, I bet dirt costs more. ” 😂 interesting post, no more? I expect a sequel...
No phones, no electricity, no cars.
Humans used to have it rough. How did they survive? :-p
I wonder if this is what many places in The US will look like soon?
i will always support you man!!!
Very interesting. Here all the pharmacies have bars over the windows and doors. That really is out in the middle of no where. I've never seen a doctors office like that in real life.
@solarguy you made me go into my roots (my village)....... Thanks a lot man because of to you today I went into flashback in my old days thanks a lot this post means a lot to me!!
That's a really difficult place rural chinese doctors office.
It is not a kind of a facility I would expect to find a rural or any kind of a doctor. But, I guess there are a few living out there to care.
