How to Chengdu: Hospitals

¡¡Right about 2:00 AM, last Sunday, Oliver Deppert awoke with an IV in his arm and unable to remember the night before. Within a few minutes the strange face of a nurse came in and, to Oliver¡¯s surprise, spoke in clear English,¡°Oh, so you are awake. You have suffered a head injury.¡±
¡¡¡¡¡°Where am I?¡±
¡¡¡¡¡°You are at Huaxi Yiyuan Hospital.¡±
¡¡¡¡Playing keeper in a football game the day before, Deppert dove for a save and his head collided with the knee of the opposition knocking the past week straight out of his head. Such incidents can be worrisome and call up images like the rigid woman with the wooden-stretcher being biked to a hospital in Beijing. For Deppert, and you dear other western readers, if you wind up unconscious on the football field, in the pitch, or elsewhere in the city of Chengdu, you will be tossed in an ambulance and wake up at Huaxi Yiyuan.
¡¡¡¡You will likely find this to me most convenient because Huaxi Yiyuan boasts state of the art MRI equipment, well trained technicians, nurses and doctors, as well as a partial staff with proficient English.
$page$¡¡¡¡For lighter injuries, and if you can manage a little Chinese, it would be worth your while to try out traditional Chinese medicine. When I first arrived in Chengdu, I had the misfortune of partially tearing a ligament in my left knee. With a wrap and a limp, I hobbled to a traditional medicine joint. Think small shop with cots behind giant windows. Given the wrap and the limp, I had to say very little to get the point across. Soon I had x-ray, acupuncture with electric stimulation, and a foul tasting medicinal brew, all for about eighty kuai. While my knee was stiff for a good while, the pain and swelling were at a minimum and I was walking clean in no time.
¡¡¡¡Now, if you are picky or just plain concerned, call up the Heart to Heart Chengdu International Clinic. Heart to Heart¡¯s chief physician, Brian L. Robinson, M.D., has been certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. And, if you hadn¡¯t guessed, he speaks English too.
