Well I have had my first visit to a Chinese doctor and thought I would share the experience. The lady doc I saw was lovely and gave a thorough examination of my throat chest and ears. She decided I had a chest and throat infection and the flu to top it all off. I was given antibiotics and 2 other packets of tablets. I looked them up on the internet to see what they were and one was a Chinese herbal remedy containing: Honey,ginger,cardamom and cannabis..... not sure if the ingredients list was correct!
After taking the course for a couple of days it was not getting any better so my friend went back to the doctors for me to ask for something stronger.....she came back with an arsenal of tablets! I have to take 21 tablets 3 times a day! 63 tablets a day for 2 days....omg plus some revolting cough medicine.... Some foods we eat everyday at our school. As you can see this is not the Chinese food you get used to in the west. School dinner costs between 4 and 8 RMB (40-80 pence in old money)
