Hospitals rake in during holidays

Of all the human rushes triggered off by the weeklong Springfestival, the price for the most interesting twist goes to the Shanghai Daily who discovered that more people spend their holidays in the hospital.
Routine health checks, mental health services and plastic surgery were the toppers.
After education, medical services belong to the more favorite expenditures for Chinese; having a long and healthy life is a high priority, making Chinese inside and out China to the highest users of medicine worldwide.
According to Ye Shanlong, director of Changning District Mental Health Center, after resuming out-patient service on Sunday, his center received more than 20 people every day, doubling the usual number, and most are stressed office clerks, writes the Shanghai Daily.
"Nose reshaping, eye-lid processing, liposuction and skin treatment were the most popular during the holiday. We received more than 40 patients every day, compared with some 20 in usual days," said Liu Chunlong from Ren'ai Hospital.
