China blood pooling

*anything about

Shitty autocorrect

what do you mean reinfused? like, the mixed vat was used to supply hospitals and stuff with generic "chinaman blood very terrific!" and not sorted by type or screened for disease?

All blood from the same village/town was pooled together, then reinfused to same village. Don't know if it was meant to have been mixed with anything else.

Apparently one village was used as medical experiment but was hushed up after disastrous results.

>"We've got to close the blood collection stations immediately and inform the donors. People are in big danger," Wang said she told her superiors. The response, she said, was thugs sent to vandalize her clinic.

really makes you think

There was an AIDS epidemic where entire villages were decimated due to the reusing of needles, etc.

People would be paid to donate blood as many times as they could, in return for hard cash. The cost of this hit certain provinces hard.

Is this what you mean?

Sounds like it's prob part of the same thing. As I said, was told about it while in China a long time ago so wasn't sure how much if the story was lost in translation/ exaggeration etc

> a young doctor fresh out of medical school diagnosed a mild concussion and recommended a transfusion for a quicker recovery.

Wikipedia has a couple of citations
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_China#Bloodhead_controversy
>From the early to mid-1990s a network of businessmen and government workers, known as "bloodheads", set up hundreds of official and unofficial blood donation stations in Henan Province to supply the market for blood plasma created by hospitals and manufacturers of health products. The common practice of reusing needles, not screening for diseases, sellers traveling from station to station with false records to maximize their income, and the mixing the blood prior to centrifuging and re-injecting the separated red blood cells back into the peasant blood-sellers guaranteed the rapid spread of blood-borne diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis B.

>At the same time, hospitals were encouraging patients to get blood transfusions whether they needed them or not, offering doctors who sold blood commissions of $1 or $2 per bag.

>"So many people were selling blood, you needed somebody to buy it," said Tian Xi's mother, Chen Minggui, 48.
It's pretty fucked up

That's one of the theory in how his spread in Congo but it was heavily strained heavily underfunded church clinics.

There is no historical source for such an event.

But there is a lot of stupid shit the Chinese have done because they didn't understand basic health procedures at the time>>1437875
