I am impressed that some foreigners using chopsticks easily, for they have had Japanese or Chinese cuisine and practice a lot before visiting China. Derek Armstrong and Wendy Lynn Bullock, are the ones I've went out with for Chinese dinners in different occasions, do be good at holding chopsticks and they look like the extensions of their hands.

Yet I've recognized that few etiquettes are not introduced to expats after searching on the web. One is that hovering above the dish for your hesitation, which shows you are blocking the others to pick up any food, or you're really selfish. Another bad manner is searching in any dishes. It's so vulgar, and most people may feel disgusting for your saliva might already taint on the chopsticks.

Actually I have no idea that why we will impale meat balls. For most of us can pick up glass balls by chopsticks without difficulty. If you cannot make it, feel free to use a spoon instead of piercing a fish ball or beef ball.

And I want to know who will research on chopsticks usages and health.

Hospital clusters will come to us in Shenzhen

13 hospital clusters will be set up, each contains one hospital, a district hospital or TCM hospital, and many community clinics, all are public investments. This medical reform is based on Hong Kong Health Authority's idea, spokesman from Shenzhen Heath Bureau says to Shenzhen News.

There will be no common sickness triage in municipal after hospital clusters come to us. Visitors are going to consume for cold, cough, allergy etc in general practitioners in future but no legislation will declared to stop visitors consult general problems in municipal hospitals.

Probably patients will pay more by themselves if they go directly to big hospitals for general disease, even they are covered by social medical insurance.

I'm totally impressed by this news, hoping it will change the medical service culture in the following decades. Criticism keep blaming inefficiency in large hospitals for patients are easily jammed.

It's time for the change in Shenzhen health administration.

Shy Feelings from Students in an English Class

Today I notice many shy students after teaching a class of more than 100 attendance, which expats teachers have mentioned that a lot. These shy ones, read in a really low voice, wait for the selection for pair play, and some flee away before the end of the class for I assign the class to introduce themselves one by one.

Most of them are not English beginners for they pronounce pretty good, speak fluently and some of them know the medical terms terribly well. So I recognize how a shy student is.

Maybe Chinese culture that seldom encourage students to develop their views draw to this shy reactions. Rote do kill the talent of a person and this is quite obvious in English class, especially in a western style one.

A student in today's class told me that she hasn't speak English for decades. Oh, this is the time for your English muscles, why not open it?

Another one said she just want to follow my reading. I just had few minutes for each group and practicing with you partner really works.

Some are not confident with themselves for the worry for bad pronunciations. I realize that most of them haven't listen to a native English program, in radio broadcasting or TV. Most important of all, he or she might never speak in their class before, probably they had a shy teacher in their school lives.

I know, I know, I have to be better. Try to keep my smile, soft tones and encouraging gestures, then ease their stresses. Try to elicit their motivation for learning English, to learn by themselves. And I would try small tricks to interact them in pair practice or group games.

Beijing government declared its legislation and banned smoking indoors from this May 1, but there are still smokers in schools.

Shenzhen now is going to set up tobacco-free schools. No one can smoke in kindergartens, primary schools or secondary school, wherever they smoke indoors or outdoors. Meanwhile cigarettes are prohibited in Health Authority in Shenzhen, but they will have smoking area outside the buildings.

Also smoking rules are carried on not so strictly in universities for there will be smokers areas outdoors.

None cigarettes can be sold in any school area so that all tabacco-free schools will come to us until this following December.

In many administrative buildings, there are no rules to stop people to smoke indoors at present.

Disposable chopsticks and Chinese Cuisine

I realize that some expats love to try Chinese cuisine, that's really impressive for they know besides offalls and bones, some Chinese food also are cooked lightly, with plenty of vegetables, and have charming look. Eating in a popular restaurant or dining in a luxury one sometimes may guarantee the food safety, but things in many restaurants are not the same.

Disposable chopsticks are today's topic about food poisoning. What we know from CCTV reports last year, many throwaway chopsticks are tainted with sulfur, paraffin wax or hydrogen peroxide. And moldy chopsticks, escherichia coli or aureus polluted are quite common, both of these may lead to cancer, stomachache, or vomiting.

We can see diners pour boiling water on disposable chopsticks to ensure hygiene but it doesn't work actually, for most of these poisoning materials and tiny germs will not be destroyed at 100 Celsius degrees. Therefore, what's your plans before having Chinese cuisine with wasteful slender sticks?

Obviously portable chopsticks for your own are more healthier.

Shenzhen to link ATM card with health record

Cash may be not necessary anymore when you visit a hospital and pay for the bill, if you have ATM card on hand. With this technique, hospitals' physicians may load relative medical records from central servers after they swipe a patient's bank card. Lin Dernan, head of Shenzhen Medical Information Centre ( SMIC ), told the reporter that some public hospitals will try this in the following September.

It is designed for citizens have no medical insurance, which means only when he or she has visited a public hospital somewhere, sometime, and the patient has medical information recorded in the specific HIS, then a doctor is able to help visitors to read their medical histories in a easy way.

For medical data will not be wrote in any ATM cards, special hardware and software must be designed and delivered to make sure health privacy encrypted well enough. If a visitor drops his ATM card accidentally, no one can duplicate the medical records.

In 2008, about 40 thousand maternal privacy were leaked and sales from infant milk companies kept harassing some of these ladies. Some other infant products agencies did it also. Health Authority , Population and Family Authority as well denied any staffs did so, although it was reported widely in China. They find nobody guilty for this event until now.

Shenzhen Health Bureau was combined with Shenzhen Population and Family Planning Bureau in 2009, according to the administration reform by the government.

Ah, another sixty days

another-sixty-days

Ah, ah, hmm.

Shenzhen psychiatrist stuck in illegal diagnosis

Gao Beiling, a registered psychiatrist in Shenzhen Kangning Hospital ( one public psychiatric hospital ), gets stuck for an illegal diagnosis one year ago.

The lawsuit sentenced on May 10 in Futian Court and Gao was the one whom got sued. During lately 2009 to early 2010, Gao was sent to Shenzhen Second People's Hospital to diagnose a suspect case. Guo Junmei, the nurse of the Second Hospital, so disagreed to the bonus reform in her clinic, the hyperbaric medicine unit, that few presidents in this hospital believed her a maniac.

It's not sure that whether their is any registered psychiatric clinic in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital. But Guo just told her view and she was not a patient to get a confirm diagnosis. Dr. Gao Beiling, the specialist in forensic psychiatry in Shenzhen, also visitor scholar of Texas Psychiatric Hospital and University of Southern California, gave the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia secretly while Guo Junmei recognize it unconsciously.

Futian Court sentenced Shenzhen Second Hospital to pay 10 thousand yuan compensation to Miss Guo, about $1537, and to apologize on local newspapers. But Shenzhen Psychiatric Hospital and Dr. Gao have nothing to do with this case.

According to the schedule, the Second Hospital is going to serve for 26th Universiade as a major role.

Shenzhen Little Sheep tainted Phosphate

Before fast food restaurants operator Yum successfully bid Chinese Little Sheep, a scandal comes from China Shenzhen and shows this China hot-pot chain restaurant failed to past a routine sampling examination. One food in its menu, ultra-fine pork ball, is positive in Phosphate Compound test ( results here listed in Chinese ).

As Market Supervision of Shenzhen Municipality ( MSSM ) declared last week, the 1 kilogram per package sample from Little Sheep manufactured in February was not safety for it contained phosphate compound. But the notice didn't show how many samples of pork balls were tested.

MSSM is another food safety administration and they monitor food safety in selling area.

海外文憑不斷走俏

海外留學和我這個年代還相差甚遠,大學同學中也就 Jessica 到了 University of Wales 取得工商管理碩士的文憑,誰都想不到她能夠成功轉型。

飯局中不斷地聽到似曾相識的人在美國、英國和澳洲留學,其中不乏某某股份公司的村男和村姑的成功個案。情況似乎愈演愈烈,"一半富人正在考慮移民海外"、"74.5%擁有美國綠卡或公民身分"這類文章在網上曝光率蠻高,當然在局域網中被過濾掉環境下你是看不到的。我不得不說海外留學催生了一個大生意,在多次聽到身邊人講述海外教育的血與淚之後,我留意到官方報紙經常留置一整版給這些海外留學的中介,甚者不時組織中介們辦一場諮詢會,似乎官商勾結已經達到極致,每一個大學生家長步伐匆匆。

Seeing Red in China 是我近期經常閱讀的博客,博主Tom也留意到中國的富人們迫不及待,重金把子女推上船以得到美國的高等教育。呵呵,這種不罷幹休的勁頭正像幾十年前的太空爭霸一樣,既為名、又為利。只不過直白的追求與現代禮儀衝突太甚而已。在華外國人能注意到這點不無道理,今天的深圳新聞網就推出了中學爭辦"國際班"出國留學"發高燒"專題,家長的金錢投入讓我乍舌。各公立學校、私立學校高中特設的"國際班",正是迎合這個市場而生。以往教育界專業人士透露的,也就不是什麼國家機密了。

我突然想起,深圳這幾年常常叫嚷公立學校資源不足。

Tenerife behead case may not happen in China

The beheaded British woman in Tenerife is absolutely a tragedy, and I think it probably may not happen if proper preventionisms were done. Many cities in China have set up emergency response to schizophrenia crisis, so this kind of violence may not happen.

Local policemen keep informed as any maniacs are released from municipal mental hospital, as GP as well. Police officers and family doctors in pairs routinely visit the mental patients every two weeks to four months, based on the mental evaluation. But maniacs without Shenzhen Hukou will be sent to mental hospital, Kangning Hospital, for further treatment and they will be sent out back to their Hukou places if they are stably healthy.

As Epress.co.uk reports, Deyan Valentinov Deyanov has been released from a psychiatric hospital since this February. In general he should be in good healthy situation, knowing his mental problem and the drug usages. But it seems Mr. Deyanov was out of control for he harassed and pestered different madams in these several months.

China government has all firm hands on maniacs. From January to April in 2011, Shenzhen Police has dispersed 80 thousand out for they are ‘high risk’to Shenzhen, which including dangerous maniacs.

Disperse schizophrenias or monitoring them is one of the emergency response for Harmony China, from Beijing Olympic to Shanghai Expo, now the 26th Universiade. Spain government, will you learn something from it?

English Practice Selection Rhyme

As foreigner teachers have found, many Chinese adults are shy to open their mouths, even say nothing till the class is over. Actually I don't recognize this until Tom Anderson and
Wendy talks about that. I myself always grasped any chance to read English loudly as a representative in the class and I were quite willing to play the language game as a student.

Last week I recognized someone like what they say, a stubborn refused to speak English in a loud voice, simply buried himself in the text book, even he just murmur in a pretty low voice that I were hardly able to heard it. I failed to pulled him up from his seat and made him stand straighter, to eased him in a good position to pronounce.

Sometimes I use selection rhyme to push them to the point for none volunteers raise their hands. One rhyme that Mr. Anderson has been using is my favourite for I try to speak no Chinese. The rhyme is Eenie Meenie:

Eenie meenie miney moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe,
If he squeals, let him go,
Eenie meenie miney moe,

The ‘eanie meenie’ is obviously the usage for counting, for I notice it in a scenario in Toy Story Ⅲ, while Bonnie meets Woody she is counting something.

I think Ingle Angle is also a good choice to select somebody to stand out, full text of the rhyme is:

Ingle angle, silver bangle
Ingle angle, oooooooh
Ingle angle, silver bangle
Out goes you

The last word points to a person always is the one selected to do some English practicing. In Cantonese a selection rhyme will be this:

點指兵兵 (We are counting soldiers)
點指賊賊 ( We are counting gansters )
點到誰人做大兵 ( Who will act as GI Joe )
點到誰人做大賊 ( Who will act as Robin Hoods )

92580 couples registered divorces in 2009, Zhongshan City had the toppest divorce ratio of 22.2%, while Shenzhen followed it at the second, Shenzhen News reports. According to the survey, around one fourth were caused by extramarital affairs.

Here is divorce procedure in Shenzhen. For Shenzhen residents with local Hukou, to divorce you must have:

  1. Hukou registration book and ID card, with duplication copies separately in two A4 paper.
  2. Marriage certification with with duplication copies in A4 paper.
  3. Divorce settlements in three duplication in A4 paper.
  4. Two Liang cun (3.5×5.3cm) standard pictures for each person.

At last you have to pay 9 RMB for you divorce certification.

今天你“精神分裂症”了嗎

沒有上山下鄉,沒有停薪下崗,你都沒法澄清自己不是官二代。現在,沒有暴力抵抗拆遷,缺乏有關部門診斷你患有“精神分裂症”,你都沒辦法與時俱進、務實務虛。

從媒體報導得知,“被精神病”這樣的事情就正正發生在我們身邊,恰巧在自認為平時吃苦耐勞的健康工作者中間。2009年,深圳市第二人民醫院職工郭俊梅帶頭反對績效分配方案,院方迅即邀請康寧醫院派出精神科醫生診斷這位護士的“疑似精神問題”,最後診斷她為“偏執型精神障礙”。深圳市第二人民醫院前身為深圳市紅十字會醫院,由早期華強醫院轉成。

深圳市福田區人民醫院於5月6日判案原告郭俊梅上訴得直,被告之一深圳市第二醫院需登報賠禮道歉,並賠償郭護士精神損失費1萬元,無疑間接肯定了此案“被精神病”的違法性。大家可以推測一下,被告之一深圳市康寧醫院和高北陵醫生為何不需承擔法律責任,深圳市第二人民醫院會否拖延執行,以及深圳市衛生局會不會很不滿意

衛生部醫師執業查詢系統的結果顯示,高北陵具備精神衛生專業執業資質。事情是否真的如康寧醫院輕慢地解釋那樣,無問題?

讓我們看看康寧醫院答复南方都市報採訪,有兩點值得注意:指派高北陵到市二醫院出診為醫療常規行為,有關責任應由對方醫院承擔。

但這不是所謂的醫療常規行為。按照衛生部醫師執業資格查詢返回的結果,高北陵執業地點為深圳市康寧醫院,言下之意一般情况下她不可在其他医疗机构从事任何医疗活动,会诊除外。但也正是这个“会诊”,悬疑重重。

讓我淺顯地解釋什麼叫會診。病人入院治療,住院醫師在有效期間內得到A1、A2、B1不同的確診診斷,逐個證實或排除了幾個疑似診斷,卻在收治期間發現了可疑的ξ症狀,它明顯地超過了這個住院科室的診斷和治療能力、更多情況下是只有專科醫生才能下的診斷。此時,這個住院科室在徵得病人的同意下提請院內或院外會診。

從媒體系列追踪報導看,深圳市第二人民醫院提請所謂的院外會診時,郭俊梅並無其他診治記錄,既不是感冒發燒、又不是肺炎皮膚病住院,完全沒有會診的基礎條件,有的只是這家醫院毫不做作視自己職工為“可疑精神病人”的決定,只需要精神病醫院寫下偏執型精神障礙”確診或“待排除”即可。無需懷疑,深圳市的康寧醫院,可以在醫療程序混亂、資料不齊全的情況下,熱情為你診斷。

2009年人民網轉載,深圳市18歲以上市民精神分裂症等患病率1.41%。他們又有哪些是得罪過頂頭上司呢?

Shenzhen Futian District supply family doctors

Following Beijing and Shanghai city, Shenzhen starts its family doctor service, and Futian is the only one pioneer district.

30 health care clinics in Futian district join the reform program. General practitioners there visit to the families which make phone calls and ask for help. No extra fees are needed.

In year 2010, there are 6211 health professionals in 607 health clinics, around 10 physicians and nurses in each by average. Many health care clinics open 24 hours for full day shifting, therefore full time family doctor service will be not available in Futian.

私立醫院

一個深喉今天上了本地電視新聞專題,披露私立醫院吸金訣竅。她熟悉各種手法,我推測她極可能是私立醫院的管理層,或者是一名履歷不短的醫生。尤其節目最後看到她建議“生病不要去民營醫院”,我能想像到其他的觀眾的激烈反應。

私立醫院傭工並非都是黃綠醫生。他們之中不乏名牌醫科大學畢業生,也有公立醫院退休專家。本地新聞的蛛絲馬跡裡,不時找得到政府醫院高層的名字,想必他們在私人醫院中枯木逢春。

人在江湖,身不由己。我想起了海飛,他曾經也雄心勃勃。

海飛畢業的時候極為焦慮,短短幾個月就學會了一天一包煙。他的家鄉,教務處稱之為“四類地區”,絕大多數這些學生都不願意回到這些鄉鎮。一個中心、兩個要點、黑五類、四類地區……把這些名字掛在嘴上的人不僅缺乏想像力,還喜歡標籤他人。

12月份即將結束。有背景的學生早已找到工作,有才華的人也得到國外學校的offer。海飛來找我,憂心忡忡地談到了他的就業。實習的那家關外醫院口頭答應給他臨工的機會,年薪不菲,雖然只是正式工的一半。他猶豫了一周,擔心無法應對辦公室政治,自知躋身正式工希望渺茫。

報紙有時候也講真話。深圳不少人輕信調動工作、調動戶口的秘密渠道,十幾萬元就這樣打了水漂。我把這些轉述給海飛,其實不知道它們是真是假。十幾年前10萬元可以在園嶺買一套單身公寓,現在市值暴漲4倍,還奇貨可居。

“何不考慮做醫藥代表?雖然這些公司也不是終身製,但是你做出來的業績始終算入你的名下。”我這樣建議海飛。沒想到他最後選擇了一家私立醫院,終究還是找了一個高風險的職業。幾個月後我再次見到他,看到的是滿臉疲憊,同時有掩蓋不住的興奮。

我沒有問他的收入,但是知道老闆欣賞他。後來才知道,僅僅用了一年時間,海飛進入了那家私人醫院的管理層。雖然是四十多人的企業,但是很多買單、宴請的活計交給了他。一次請客要花幾萬元,我那時候想破腦袋都不知道是怎樣用的。

“錢來的快,也要用得快,”晚上新聞裡的這位深喉說法和海飛如此相像。我不再厭惡這些私立醫院的同行。

Shenzhen physicians per 1000 people

Population datum keeps changing in Shenzhen. On 2011 April 10th it is 13 million, while it was 8.9 million in 2010, even statistic comes from the same Population Authority.

Meanwhile, official report for health system of last year show that there were 22012 registered physicians in Shenzhen, approximately 1.69 physicians in every 1000 Shenzhen residents. This is sure an achievement for the average in China was around 1 in per 1000 people in 2009 ( World Bank datum here ).

Obviously human resource invested on health services in Shenzhen are fewer. In 2009, there were 3.68 physicians per 1000 people in Shanghai. Even in Guangdong province, there were 1.62 physicians in each 1000 people.

Some believe that too much physicians burden is one of the reason for the severe conflicts between patients and doctors in China.
