Its good to think and plan for our future, Sunnydream. At least we know what to expect. Life is hard in China now, not like what I used to experience before. For example, last Sunday I had a chest pain and went to Sun Yat Sen Hospital (Cardiovascular Branch), Shenzhen. For CT Scan, ECG, injection, IVP (3 bottles), blood tests, medicine, one night observation and doctor's fee I needed to pay almost RMB2500.

For me, I look forward for the gratuity payment besides monthly pension.

If not needed I won't go, dear Sunnydream. I would rather go to public hospitals in Malaysia where everything is free, medicines, ward, food, etc. It was an emergency. The doctor didn't listen to my woes as I informed him I was on Plavix but he still prescribed me an aspirin which I am allergic to.

Maybe for foreigners but the government was kind enough to give me free operation, free ward, free medicine and free food. Even free mouth wash. The only thing I needed to buy was a shaver that the hospital didn't provide. Wan
