If it’s not the asshole that’s decided to stand in the doorway (of every doorway ever constructed in this country) thinking that it was built just for his leaning, it’s the visitor of a patient talking to another visitor in decibels that would make Spinal Tap proud, while seriously ill and in need of rest patience grumble but say nothing.

It really does mean a lot. I just got back from the hospital and am doing up an update.. nothing extremely exciting, but my mind is a bit more at easy. Thanks for the offer Chris, but I don't think I need to pull out the big guns just yet. :-) @China Expat: Dodgy cooking styles? Perhaps they get a lot of pseudo-sushi chefs? (try saying that five times fast... c'mon... I dare ya). Again guys, thanks a load and I'll be keeping everyone posted. Hey guys, thank you all for the well wishes. It really does mean a lot.

Its good that you have more than enough concerned friends to lighten up the load. I dont really know you or Maggie. Just an avid follower of your journal. But i have a feeling she is a tough cookie, just like you. Just hang in there, and take care of each other. You must be feeling oddly low.

Hope everything works out for the best. Good choice on a government hospital, the others will take you for as much money as they can (I know, been there, done that). Good luck on trying to figure out what is truly wrong and getting them to do the right thing, if that is possible. When my girlfriend and I had massive foodsickness, I had to explain to the doctor that it was the cause of meat gone bad, versus some bogus 'spices' or cooking style. Ridiculous. 21st century and they don't even know the main cause of food poisining. Damn, I’m sorry to hear that Ryan. Hope everything works out for the best.

I'd also like to echo the advice above -- you should definitely try to enlist the help of a rough-and-tumble Chinese negotiator to help you deal with the administrative crap. I know a great lady in Shanghai, who's English is excellent. I'm sure she'd be willing to help you -- at least by talking with them on the phone and acting as translator/intermediary. Hang in there!
