He thought it may be food poisoning. He was examined and given an injection. He died of a heart attack almost immediately. No investigation or autopsy performed. Used to be they were injection happy. Now the drip is fashionable. Several years ago we had a colleague go to the hospital in Guangzhou complaining of a stomach problem. He thought it may be food poisoning.

Slightest ailment they go running of to hospital and hook up on a drip. Each time they get a dose it lowers their immune system so they get ill quicker next time. I got it out of my system many moons ago back in the UK when doctors were shoving antibiotics down everyones neck .they soon learned the mistake of that. In 10 years here i have never at to enter a hospital for illness . Yet my 19 year old gf is in and out like a yoyo. Never listens to my advice to avoid antibiotics because its a cultural thing here to do it. Government needs to step in and regulate the use. I You know this is a big cultural problem in China.
