For crapping for not crapping for not breathing and over breathing coughing panic hack for lethargy for germs of hand of face of butt of mind of liver eyes dry eyes wet eyes itchy unclean wet dry evaporative . . . . if God himself wanted to get it on with me, I’d have a medication to prevent it. Why pack clothes? I should just go in saran wrap and call it a day/night/whatever.

From Customs and Etiquette of China:

If you fall ill in China, you should be able to arrange a visit to the doctor through the staff at your hotel. It is very worrying for the Chinese, who see themselves as your hosts for as long as you are in their country, to have a sick foreigner on their hands, and they will make every effort to see that you are well cared for.

Standards of care do vary, however, and you would be well-advised to take with you a supply of any medicines and pharmaceutical products you think you may need. Hypothermic needles, for instance are often used more than once, so take some with you in case you need to have an injection of some sort.

While I found that alarming (!), the degree to which FaintedPurellMaven would find it so actually struck me as kind of funny.
