Sometimes (well, often!) I despair of Chinese doctors and their medical knowledge. We took JD to the clinic today for yet another injection (on our first visit 6 months ago we were told there we could opt for 3 injections instead of the "usual 12" if we paid for a foreign brand. We paid, but we're currently processing our 8th injection for reasons that nobody seems to be able to explain to me).
Today's Doctor: I'm sorry but he doesn't look well at all.
Jiajia: Oh dear. Why?
Doctor: His hair isn't dark enough. It's a sure sign.
...I walk into the room...
Doctor: Oh. Is he a foreign baby...?!
We were then told we couldn't have the injection anyway, because he had a slight cough two weeks ago (for which doctors immediately prescribed antibiotics!?). Meanwhile JD is bouncing around the clinic, full of energy, totally unaware of just how desperately ill he is (or isn't).
