It’s not common in China for babies to have pierced ears, but it sure is cute and adorable! When my friend first got her baby girl’s ears pierced, they searched on Dianping to find a little shop that both sells earrings and will pierce babies’ ears. And occasionally, when a new mom in Beijing asks where she can get her daughter’s ears pierced, this little shop comes up. But unless you speak Chinese, you’re not going to have the easiest time communicating what you want with them.

But fret not! For moms who want to accessorize their baby girls, OASIS International Hospital has launched a new ear-piercing service for people of all ages. Honestly, what better place to get it done than at an international hospital where you can communicate with the doctor freely?

The piercings are done by Dr. Joy Oreto, one of the hospital’s beloved pediatricians. The whole process costs RMB 360. If you want a follow-up consultation afterwards, they offer that for an additional RMB 140.

The piercing studs that OASIS uses are Studex, made in the US from medical-grade stainless steel. They’re hypoallergenic, sterile, and individually sealed.

With the lockdowns in Shanghai, quite a number of people here in Beijing have started stocking up on food and daily supplies, in case we go into lockdown here. But for expecting mothers and their families, there’s a much more pressing concern than how much toilet paper and instant noodles to store at home.

“What if I go into labor and my compound is locked down?”

According to Oasis International Hospital, there are procedures in place specifically for this. However, they’d like to stress that these procedures might be specific to Oasis International Hospital. If you’re delivering at another hospital, it’s best to contact them immediately and have a backup plan in place just in case.

Oasis has the following plan in place for their patients:
1. Call the Oasis maternity ward at 13810688466 or speak to your Account Representative.
2. Pregnant moms will need to confirm that they don’t have any of these 11 symptoms: fever, dry cough, fatigue, loss of smell or taste, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, conjunctivitis, myalgia, and diarrhea.
3. If a mother doesn’t have any of the 11 symptoms, she will ask her 社区居委会 (shè qū jū wěi huì) to call 120 (the number for an ambulance) and take her to Oasis.
4. If she does have fever or any of the 11 symptoms, she will also need to talk with the 社区居委会 to call 120 and go to Civil Aviation General Hospital (航空总院 háng kōng zong yuàn) for medical assistance.

Currently, one person is allowed to accompany the mother during delivery, but it’s best to check with the specific hospital where you’ll be delivering for that hospital’s rules and regulations, as they might be different than those of Oasis.

Let’s face it, this summer, we’re not traveling anywhere outside of China! Sure, there are a few sunny domestic destinations such as Sanya, but for most of us, it looks like we’ll be spending the entire summer right here in Beijing. And there’s nothing wrong with that, since the capital is jam-packed with fantastic historical and modern sites just waiting to be discovered. However, summertime isn’t all about learning and cultural enrichment, it’s also about relaxing and having fun.

So with pools, picnics, and floaties in mind, we head into summer prepared for fun in the sun.

I’ve always been a bit of a germaphobe, even before Covid. The idea of jumping into a pool that’s possibly got a higher pee-peeH level than I’d like is still pretty icky to me. As such, in my mind, family-friendly pools are all but synonymous with pink eye.

Seeing the world through rose-colored glasses is great. Seeing it through rose-colored eyeballs… not so much. To find out more about this ghastly virus, we consulted Dr. Joy Oreto, a pediatrician at Oasis International Hospital who cleared up a few common misconceptions about pink eye.

Most everyone knows that pink eye comes from contact with fecal matter. It’s exactly how it sounds. Essentially, pink eye is the result of getting poop in your eye. But it’s also not that simple. “Bacteria or viruses that cause conjunctivitis (pink eye) can spread through hand-to-eye contact, [it’s] transmitted by hands or objects that are contaminated,” explains Dr. Oreto, adding, “Having contact with infectious tears, eye discharge, fecal matter, or respiratory discharges can contaminate hands.” Simply put, going to the bathroom and not properly washing your hands afterward, and then proceeding to touch a bunch of different surfaces, is one surefire way to get pink eye.

While we might not be able to count on the cleanliness of every surface we touch, pools are thoroughly chlorinated and that kills bacteria, right? “Even if the pool water is chlorinated it does not guarantee that it is germ-free,” says Dr. Oreto. “It is still possible to spread the infection through chlorinated water. Also, if you have conjunctivitis it could further worsen your eye condition.”

Okay, so you’re going to start – if you haven’t already – washing your hands with soap after every trip to the bathroom. Likewise, you may even be considering avoiding pools altogether this summer. Does that mean you’re safe from contracting pink eye? Not quite. Pink eye is highly contagious and, as mentioned, it’s spread by contact. The first time I heard this I thought to myself, “Well, what are the chances that someone else’s eyes will get in contact with mine?” but it’s actually more common than one would expect. It spreads when an infected person gets their eye secretion onto another surface – any surface… Think door handles, towels, pillowcases, etc.

Fear not, though! To prevent yourself from getting pink eye, a few simple measures can make a world of difference. Don’t share tissues, handkerchiefs, towels, or bedding with anyone you think might be infected. If you’re traveling, it’s never a bad idea to bring your own towels or buy a set of single-use ones that you can throw away. If you’re out and about, keep your hands clean and away from your face. Always wash your hands and when a sink isn’t available, a quick hand sanitizer rub will kill most bacteria.

What should parents do if their kids get pink eye?

• Consult your doctor about appropriate treatment.
• The safest approach to avoid spreading viral and bacterial conjunctivitis is to let your child stay home until there is no longer any discharge from the eye.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces.
• Change towels and bed covers.
• Teach kids proper hand hygiene.

I have always been a relatively healthy person. I try to eat well despite my sugar addiction and get regular exercise despite my love of a good Netflix binge, but most of it is just luck. So far (knock on wood) I have dodged the majority of the genetic bullets in my family tree. But several years ago, I started to notice the telltale signs of osteoporosis in my hands. It’s not surprising, most of the women in my family have suffered from this degenerative disease and it started to affect my mother and grandmother when they were just about the same age I am now (21 for those of you who are wondering ;). There is no cure, only medication for symptoms, and the pain was relatively minimal and sporadic. I didn’t want to commit to popping pills for the next 40 years, so I just assumed I would need to suck it up. Until I suffered thru a Beijing winter! The dry air and bitter cold made my hands swell and my joints ache and I was seriously considering seeking medication when a friend suggested acupuncture.

Like most Westerners, I am pretty skeptical of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), especially when you hear it involves willingly becoming a human pin cushion. But she swore up and down that it had made a huge difference in her health and she had an excellent recommendation for a legitimate practitioner. She sent me his contact card and after a brief WeChat conversation with Dr. Wang Fei from Kangyuan Chinese Medicine Clinic, I agreed to give it a try.

He came to my apartment at our scheduled time and asked me questions about the pain, what triggered it etc, and examined my swollen fingers. He asked about other sore spots or aches I experienced, and it felt surprisingly like a doctor making a house call. As I lay still with about two dozen needles sticking out of various pressure points (it didn’t hurt at all) Dr. Wang and I chatted, and I got quite the education about the history of this particular Chinese tradition.

The techniques of the practice are very carefully guarded. Wang told me in each generation only one boy per family is chosen to learn them, and he started studying under his uncle when he was young. He is a sixth-generation practitioner and his family has been passing down the secrets of this ancient art for 167 years!

According to Dr. Wang, the oldest record of acupuncture is from the Warring States Period in the book Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor’s Medicine Classic). It describes using small sharp objects strategically placed in the skin to balance the body’s yin and yang which allows the qi to flow. In modern laymen’s terms, the body has 361 acupoints, and stimulating them allows blood to flow more freely to joints and viscera which helps the body heal itself. Acupuncture can be used to help treat an entire host of problems ranging from nausea to nicotine addiction. He even went so far as to suggest children can see improvements in things like asthma and Tourette Syndrome symptoms but for the record, you should always discuss treatments with your child’s pediatrician before considering that route.

After about 30 minutes he removed the needles and our session was over. At that point, I didn’t feel any different and thought, “well let’s chalk that up to an interesting expat experience.” But the next morning… the swelling in my hands was gone and I had zero pain for the next three days. I assumed it had to be a placebo effect but after my second and third treatment, the benefits compounded. I went a full month with no pain or stiffness, it might still be a placebo (the modern science is inconclusive) but I don’t care because it’s working!

One of the great things about expat life in Beijing is the opportunities to try new things. So often we end up focusing on the big Kodak moments like hiking the Great Wall and visiting the Terra Cotta Warriors but this experience was a great reminder that everyday things can and should be horizon expanding. I’m so glad I put aside my skepticism and western bias.  I may still eventually need medicinal intervention, but this experience gave me a couple more prescription-free years and some new insight into Chinese culture. That’s a win-win.

No-one really likes to think about emergencies when they don’t have to, but there is one situation where being well-prepared can save your life. You can prepare yourself for medical emergencies in a number of ways, and primary among them is knowing the name and location of a reputable emergency room, especially if you’re living in a country where you don’t speak the local language.

Raffles Medical’s emergency department is equipped with comfortable treatment and consultation rooms

A well-established name in the international healthcare community, Raffles Medical launched 24-hour emergency services at its Beijing clinic on Oct 5, 2020. The clinic is staffed by English-speaking certified emergency room doctors with decades of clinical experience, as well as an extensive support staff of nurses and technicians. Many of the emergency doctors worked under International SOS, a global leader in emergency medicine and medical evacuation, for many years. The staff also undergo twice-monthly training sessions and drills to ensure that they stay on top of the latest emergency procedures.

In addition to comfortable consultation rooms, the clinic itself is equipped to deal with a wide range of medical emergencies, including internal medicine, surgical, gynecological, and pediatric emergencies. This is supported by an international pharmacy, a laboratory, an ultrasound and radiology department, and other essential facilities and equipment.  

Raffles Medical has the latest equipment, including a newly-installed CT scan machine that will be put into use soon

As emergency medicine doctor Sonia Jutard-Bourreau explains, the first priority in an emergency situation is triage, i.e., establishing how urgent a patient’s condition is. “Any patient who comes to an emergency room by nature feels their condition is extremely urgent. In some cases, such as a cardiac arrest, it is immediately apparent what the problem is, while in other cases, it is less clear. Either way, it is our duty to work with them and find out what their care needs are,” she explains. Once a patient has been assessed, treatment can begin, including arranging for further care at a local hospital, if necessary. The Raffles Medical team has a strong network of connections with some of Beijing’s top specialists and surgeons, and will also help with the communication process, so patients can rest assured that they are getting quality care.

Part of providing effective emergency treatment is putting the patient and their loved ones at ease, as emergency room patients can suffer lasting psychological trauma from their experiences in addition to any physical conditions. The boutique size of Raffles Medical’s emergency services department goes a long way to helping with that feeling, avoiding the clamor and confusion of some larger, public hospitals. However, for Dr. Jutard-Bourreau, what really sets Raffles apart is the clinic’s strong history as a family medicine practice. “One thing I have noticed in my time here [at Raffles Medical]is that our doctors always say ‘my patient,’ not ‘a patient’,” she says, adding, “Patients usually refer to us by our first names as well.”  The clinic’s strong connections with the local community give the doctors an extra level of insight into their patients’ needs in emergency situations, although first-time patients can, of course, expect the same level of care.

For an extra level of comfort, if you need to stay in the emergency department for more than a few hours, the Raffles team will move you to one of the comfortable observation rooms on the newly-refurbished third floor. With their muted grey and blonde wood color scheme and ensuite bathrooms, the rooms are fully equipped to provide a high-quality standard medical care in an environment with a level of comfort similar to a hotel. There are also rooms equipped with parent-child facilities.

Raffles Medical also has child-friendly facilities

There are plenty of other ways you can be prepared in the event of an emergency. In addition to knowing the details of your nearest or preferred emergency room, Dr. Jutard-Bourreau recommends preparing an information pack including a copy of your passport, a copy of your medical insurance card, details of any medical conditions including drug allergies, and emergency contact numbers, and carrying it with you at all times (or giving one to your children). 

With winter on the way, it also pays to be on the lookout for the symptoms of common seasonal conditions. Beijing’s cold, dry air and occasional pollution can exacerbate respiratory system conditions like asthma and sinusitis. This year, more than ever, we all need to be aware of and monitor for any flu-like symptoms, including fatigue, coughing, and fever, and Dr. Jutard-Bourreau recommends that everyone get a flu vaccination. You should always follow Beijing local guidelines with regards to flu-like symptoms before visiting any emergency department, but Raffles Medical can offer teleconsultations to help you eliminate alternative diagnoses remotely.

Time is of the essence in emergency situations, and quick thinking and appropriate action by emergency physicians saves lives. But for patients themselves, comfortable surroundings and a personal touch also make all the difference. You can expect both at Raffles Medical’s emergency room.

Finding out you’re pregnant for the first time is like utter bliss, followed by an onset of panic when someone asks you anything remotely technical about pregnancy, and you realize that you actually don’t have it all figured out the way you thought you did. For me, that moment of realization came when a friend asked, “How far along are you?” and I mistakenly calculated from the date of conception rather than the date of my last menstrual cycle. Okay, so I’ve still got a lot to figure out. But, there are tons of expat mommy groups (and not to mention Google) that have been offering great advice when it comes to my midnight searches of, “is blah blah blah normal during pregnancy” questions.

Now, I’m someone who likes to plan ahead. And while I’m still in my second trimester, I’ve planned out my nursery, started looking for a full-time ayi, started scouting out K-12 schools and after school programs, and most importantly, I’ve started looking for the perfect pediatrician. Yeah, I have a feeling I’m going to end up a helicopter parent, but what can I say, I don’t like surprises.

From my own personal experience with doctors in Beijing, it’s not always about how famous the hospital is, your doctor’s gender, where they’re from, or which medical school they attended. Sometimes the perfect doctor is the one whom you’re so comfortable around that you share bits of your personal life with, someone who knows your medical history and personal habits. In short, it’s like finding a best friend. You need to find someone who you can really connect with. Having a doctor who remembers you from your past visits, instead of knowing you as just the next patient, can make a world of difference.

Dr. Vanessa Rosado

But what about babies? They’re not going to be able to tell me whether they like their pediatrician or not, so how do I go about finding the right person for them?

I sat down with Dr. Vanessa Rosado, an Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Oasis International Hospital, to get the 411 on how she prepares her new mommy patients for the next step in their baby’s health journey.

Dr. Rosado is one of those names that tend to come up very often amongst expecting expat moms. Many of us love recommending her because she’s made a reputation for herself as a knowledgeable medical professional with years of experience dealing with various types of pregnancies, and someone who genuinely cares about her patients. With the kind of trust that comes from 10+ months of interactions, her unbiased opinion on selecting a pediatrician is the one that moms will listen to first.

A pediatrician is someone with whom you and your child will build a relationship with for years. Aside from playing the role of treating illnesses, one of the most important jobs of a pediatrician is to monitor the mental and physical health of your child, and prevent illnesses from happening in the first place. Each child will develop at their own pace, and having a pediatrician who has known your child from the start will be helpful when it comes to diagnosing hidden medical conditions.

What about the language barrier? While many expats have picked up Chinese over the years, there’s a good chance that the vocabulary you use in your daily life will make you feel like an HSK Level 1 student all over again when medical terms are tossed into the mix. Most hospitals with expat patients will have a translator service available, but whether you’re actually comfortable with speaking through a translator is completely dependent upon you.

But, with the possible language barrier aside, one thing that Dr. Rosado kept on emphasizing was communication. Like with any long-lasting relationship, communication is key. You want to choose a pediatrician with whom you can easily communicate and understands your needs. For example, the vaccine requirements vary from country to country. A vaccine like Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) for tuberculosis is mandatory in China, but is not a requirement in Germany, and it becomes especially important for expat families to find a pediatrician who follows the international guidelines.

Like with most things in our daily lives here in Beijing, the first place we turn to for information is WeChat. Dr. Rosado recommends expecting parents to start paying attention to pediatrician recommendations from friends when mom is around 36-weeks pregnant. Keep in mind the credentials of the doctor and general feedback from their current patients. Are other kids comfortable with this pediatrician? Do the parents rave about this person or is the feedback mixed?

According to Dr. Rosado, the three most important things to keep in mind when looking for a pediatrician are communication, credentials, and reputation. Does this person explain things in a way that’s easy for you to understand? What works for your friend might not work for you. Find a doctor that you can connect with. Can this person be easily reached either by WeChat or email? If a pediatrician takes weeks to reply, it’s a red flag that you’ll most likely be getting similar treatment when your child is sick and you need medical advice.

Like Goldilocks, it took me a while before I found a General Practitioner (GP) in Beijing that I trust and genuinely enjoy the company of, and I’m not expecting my search for the right pediatrician to be any different. And so, with Dr. Rosado’s advice in mind, my search for the perfect pediatrician begins.

KEEP READING: Make Sure Your Child’s Vaccines Are Up to Date

This article appeared in the beijingkids 2020 May issue

April 25 is National Child Vaccination Awareness Day, but what do you know about getting your child vaccinated here in Beijing? It can definitely be a bit unnerving coming to China, especially with young kids, and trying to figure out how to make sure you have all the right vaccines. Here to demystify it all are two Family Medicine physicians and one pediatrician from Beijing United Family Hospital.

Bringing us the German perspective is Family Medicine physician Dr. Reinhard Krippner, who previously worked as the German Embassy Clinic doctor. Here with the US angle is Family Medicine physician Dr. Lijun Liang, who was educated in China and trained in New York City. Providing more information specifically for kids is pediatrician Dr. Jet Caligagan from the Philippines.

What vaccines are not readily available in China?

Combination vaccines

“In China, there are constant shortages of imported vaccines, and the Chinese-made vaccinations are limited in their combinations,” says Dr. Krippner, explaining that the more diseases you can cover in one vaccine, the fewer injections needed, and the better the result – especially for children. “In Europe, we have the five-in-one and the six-in-one vaccines. Quite a number of these don’t exist in China, and there is a distrust of Chinese vaccinations because of previous scandals,” explains Dr. Krippner.

So, if you’d like to follow a typical Western vaccination schedule with as few vaccinations as possible using all Western-made medications, Dr. Krippner suggests getting as many vaccines as possible back home. “Of course, when your child is born in China, you have no choice,” he adds, “but any follow-up vaccinations that you can plan, it’s best to do them back home.”

Typhoid

“Living in Beijing, typhoid is not a very big risk. It’s only if you’re living in or traveling to very remote areas,” says Dr. Liang. “We don’t have that vaccine because China hasn’t approved it yet and China doesn’t make their own.” She adds that you need to get a booster shot every three years to maintain immunity.

UPDATE: Tetanus and rotavirus vaccines are now available in China.

Which vaccines are needed in China that aren’t on most Western vaccination schedules?

Japanese encephalitis, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B

The reason some vaccines aren’t available in China is that some diseases just aren’t such an issue here. But, conversely, there are certain diseases that do exist in China that Western vaccination schedules may not account for. “That includes Japanese encephalitis,” says Dr. Krippner. “The disease is now rather rare comparatively, but that’s because every Chinese child is vaccinated. If all Chinese children are vaccinated, it means it’s still an issue,” Dr. Krippner cautions. He also recommends getting vaccinated against hepatitis A and B if you haven’t already gotten these shots.

Getting all the vaccines you need before you come to China is ideal, as it allows you and your family to have a full level of immunity upon arrival. However, if the full course of vaccines recommended really can’t be completed before your relocation, Dr.Caligagan advises that you can still get these vaccines once you arrive in China as a last resort. If you need to move in the middle of your child’s vaccination schedule, Dr.Caligagan advises talking to your pediatrician to ensure a smooth transition of your child’s care.

I’ve heard that vaccines in China can be unsafe. Is this true?

“Vaccines, in general, are safe, especially when they are manufactured by reputable pharmaceutical companies who adhere to the highest ethical and evidenced-based standards,” says Dr.Caligagan. Our pharmacists run the BJU pharmacy according to worldwide service quality and patient safety standards. We are committed to ensuring medication safety and improving patient care.

What vaccines can my child get in China?

Below is BJU’s recommended childhood immunization schedule:

Dr. Reinhard Krippner is a German Family Medicine physician at the United Family Liangma Clinic. He speaks German, English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Indonesian.

Dr. Lijun Liang is an American Family Medicine physician at Beijing United Family Hospital. She speaks English and Mandarin.

Dr. Jet Caligagan is a highly experienced pediatrician from the Philippines. He has over 20 years of clinical experience.

If you have a fever, you must go to one of these Fever Clinics as designated by the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality. Going to just any hospital or clinic will result in you being referred to one of the below (aka being turned away). So better not waste time and go straight to a designated Fever Clinic.

If you use Baidu Maps, an easy way to find the nearest one to your current location is to do a search in Chinese for 发热门诊 (fārè ménzhěn, fever clinic). We have highlighted some of the more common/popular foreign-friendly institutions.

Should you or your family present mild symptoms, see a doctor immediately.  When you see him/her, be ready to tell your doctor about anyone you’ve been in contact with who might have the Covid-19. This will help your doctor take the appropriate steps to keep the virus from spreading.
