Decades of authoritarian one party rule have perhaps reduced one man's ability to question authority as a Chinese bloke awaiting the birth of his child was erroneously whisked in for a haemorrhoidectomy.
Doctors at Shenyang Hunnan Xinqu Hospital mistook Mr Wang for another chap with a bad case of the pink grapes and whisked him into the operating theatre, according to a report in Bandao City News.
Wang thought he was going to help his wife with the delivery of their child but then medics asked him to drop his pants and jump onto the operating table.
“It felt strange, and I asked why,” he was reporting as saying. “They just said, “Just do what we tell you”. One operation later and the 29-year-old gent was rid of the piles he didn’t know he had.
“When I was on the operating table I heard a baby crying and I was very happy, and I wanted to hold it,” he reportedly told the Chinese Business Morning View. “But I couldn’t move because I started to feel pain.”

Mr. Wang is lucky they didn’t take off his “wang” while they were at it.
You want rice with that, Mr. Wangless?
Thank you Noah Webster for simplifying the English language by pitching-out unneeded vowels.
His experience is quite analogous to that of a taxpayer in the United States.
Wait a minute. Is this a story about hemorrhoids or a story about wangs?
I was thinking Monty Python...........
And there is communism in a nutshell: The government up your anus with a scalpel.
“But I couldn’t move because I started to feel pain.”
Maybe that acupuncture for pain control didn’t work after all!
Horror stories of people getting wrong operations and wrong things removed are not exclusive to communist countries.
Regardless of language or ideology, it’s hard to imagine a man being asked, “Do you mind if we carve on your rectum?” and answering, “Be my guest.”
I had an Army doctor—out of the blue—try to push my knee-cap out of place (wanted some surgery experience? I don’t know) and I came close to kicking him.
Of course, but the article opens with the insight that China removes the ability to think or protest, instead, trusting whatever is done to you as being “right.”
Those other surgeries you hear of typically don’t have a conscious person who is being told to do stuff in a role (patient) for which they are not.
In short, I don’t ever recall a guest visitor at a US hospital being told to prepare himself for surgery and willingly doing so. It’s always an existing patient becoming a victim of a wrong operation.
I thought you were going to say, “the Spanish Inquisition.”
That's just wrong.

The best stories are the allegorical ones that can be enjoyed on many levels.
Pink grapes, in this instance, would seem healthier than purple ones, would they not?
True. We have visitors that come to the hospital and sometimes wind up needing an operation for one reason or another. :)
Wow, Mr. Wang is a trusting soul, that’s for sure.
