To be fair though, the healthcare system in China is absolute horseshit. They'll write you up for antibiotics every chance they get just so they can make money off commission. If you're dying and dont got the money, nobody will save you. They completely disregard the sacred oath This has happened several times already. For example, a man carried his sick child on his back for 40km to the nearest hospital hoping to save his life. He was turned away at the hospital because he couldn't pay up. And his child died right there in front of him. What this guy is saying holds a lot of truth in regards to the healthcare in China. It's downright inhumane.

I’m Asian and yes, this happened to me too. Dad was obsessed with me being a doctor for 6 years. My sister ended up a nurse and I’m in healthcare administration, but neither of us was interested in being a doctor haha. Dad is still a little sour about it till this day.

He's met every Asian parent 😀

I don't know if it is genetic or what, but as an Asian descendant I've seen my family's reluctance to go to the doctor first-hand: once my uncle had just developed an allergy by eating crab, so he was literally dying, but still refused to go the doctor even though the entire family was telling him to go. Well, I do not remember what we said (I'm not sure, but I think it was something to the effect of "Just imagine the problem you're going to cause if you don't go and then die", but don't remember it), but eventually he went to the doctor who later said that if he had taken any longer, he would've died. Worst thing is, my grandma, I think my mom once too, and even I have done similar things (though thankfully, in my case it really turned out to not be as serious as it could've been, which was really lucky on my side).

It’s so true that it really hurts. My sister’s son just became a doctor because he grew up hearing his mom saying the same things over and over. Powerful brainwashing
