Radio listener complains about hospital

SHANGHAI East Radio Station yesterday broadcast a show in which a blind man complained of receiving poor treatment at a private hospital in the Pudong New Area.

The person, identified only by his surname Wang, said he spent more than 3,000 yuan (US$460) on a treatment for his hearing loss, but that it made the situation worse.

Wang said he had been informed by other doctors that his problem could not be cured, but a search on the Internet led him to what appeared to be a viable treatment. He contacted the hospital concerned and was told that a cure was possible and that it would take “three courses of treatment.”

Wang claimed that on his first visit to the hospital in April, he was told that the “imported medicine” had been used to help 30,000 people with hearing problems in Beijing.

However, the remedy did nothing to help him, he told the radio show host.

The city’s health authority said yesterday it has asked the health and family planning commission, and price administration department in Pudong to look into suspected illegal operations at the hospital.
