... with the absurd things that the patient shared with me. Here are some of the crazy things that actually took place inside those "Square Cabin" hospitals.
2. For propaganda purposes, the Communist Party would send Chinese medicine "experts" to the Square Cabin Hospitals and asked patients to follow some absurd medical practices, and a camera crew will be following these "experts" to produce propaganda pieces.
3. The experts asked patients to massage the area around their belly button clockwise, because they said "such practice will force the virus out of the patient's body." Additionally, patients will also have to massage the acupuncture points on top of their head clockwise too.
4. When the interviewee challenged these experts by asking them "what would happen if I massage my belly button or acupuncture points counter-clockwise?" The experts angrily responded by saying "that's the western medical way of thinking."
And then, the patient asked again what would happen to him if he perform the "massage counter-clockwise," the expert angrily said "this is how I practiced it and it worked."
5. Patients will also be given two bags of Chinese medicine that they were told to simply take all of the medication without asking the doctors whether it worked or not.
6. Chinese medical "experts" also asked all patients to lift their sleeves and hit their own elbows as hard as they can until the elbows were bruised. They claimed bruising the elbow is also one way to "force the virus out of the patients' bodies."
7. As a result, the Square Cabin Hospital the interviewee stayed at would always have the noise of a group of people hitting themselves super hard, and most of the middle-age ladies at that hospital ended up always having bruised elbows.
"The Chinese medical doctors said if we keep hitting our elbows, it can help to clear up the virus in our lungs," the interviewee told me.
Apart from absurd medical practices, the interviewee also shared several stories about younger patient being forced to leave their sick parents in hospitals and sent to the "Square Cabin Hospital."
One patient who was the only son was informed that his mom passed away two days after he was forcefully sent into the Square Cabin Hospital against his well. He claimed to claimed over the wall of the hospital to go see his mom, but he was punished by the police instead.
In the end, the patient was not able to see his mom before she passed away. The interviewee described these incidents as common scenes during his time in the Square Cabin Hospital and think it is purely inhumane.
