law - Hospitals: any way to grab money

Most older urbanites still get their medical costs reimbursed and for the family of a deceased Harbin citizen the costs itself could not have been the issue. According to the Shanghai Daily the 75-year old teacher made 1.4 million Renminbi (YSD 175,000) during his 67 days of treatment and the family purchased medicine for an additional 4.1 million Renminbi.
Remarkable was that on one day the teacher got 94 blood transfusions that pumped enough blood into his body for two healthy people. What has happened to the seperately purchased medicine never became clear. The hospital also did the last test on 8 August, two days after he died. It is not known what the test showed.
This fraud even went the authorities too far and up to the central government teams have been sent to Harbin to investigate.
