The Chinese Inquisition

When I first arrived in Shanghai and would be having the opportunity to live in a foreign country, I thought to myself how best can I make an impact on the society in which I live? Would it be to learn about the history, take some pictures and language classes? Then it started to evolve into a job opportunity that allowed me to give some of my nursing knowledge to some local nurses here. Groovy – and I even get paid!

What I didn’t think would happen was for me to have a direct role in challenging a medical doctor’s judgment and be the key witness in a review board meeting by the heads of the company (which all happen to be men and doctors themselves).

I don’t know what this boyz club is going to do, but it is reassuring how amazingly calm I am. I figure I will dress all in black tomorrow to see if I can psych them out a little bit.
