To save bed space, clinics in a Chinese city in Guizhou province are letting people walk the street with their IV infusions. And that's not the weirdest thing about it: the patients are actually happier that way!
The move, in Zhijin town, Guizhou province, has reportedly proved popular with patients as it means they can go about their business.
The sight of patients doing their shopping while clutching their drips has become common in the town, reports China News Network.
"There are dozens of small clinics in town, and they are competing to give better service," said one patient.
"The clinics are also happy, since they get more free space."
Thus, rather than just sit and wait for the IV to empty, people go about their other business and return when it's done. Saw this all the time.
