A day in a Chinese hospital

On September 21st, we were supposed to fly back to the U.S. Unfortunately, at around 3am, I felt sick and was in the bathroom until around 5:30am when I called my parents room telling them I felt really sick. We decided I probably needed to see a doctor, so the night manager at the hotel took us to a nearby Chinese hospital. After seeing the doctor and getting a blood test and stool test done, the doctor recommended some medicine and that I put on an IV drip to get rehydrated. I didn't leave the hospital until after 8pm.

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to squat in a squat toilet on this trip, but unfortunately, that's all this hospital had and in my condition, I had no alternative but to use them.
