      Idk what exactly do you mean by “bribe the doctors”.

      Everything is out of pocket, you have to pre-pay for everything.

      Its a common TV trope in Chinese drama shows that someone can’t pay for for an expensive emergency procedure, and then they somehow find a long lost relative (or a friend or something like that) and ask them to pay for it. Like… lmao, its got the Squid Game feel to it

        Ah, okay, because that’s what I hear happened in my country. Literally, you had to bribe your way in to expect decent health care conditions and fair treatment - either with money or with products that were hard to find on the market. Bribes continued after 1989 as well, but not so much, and the newer generations reject being bribed altogether.
