I can understand some of the fear of hospitals though. The Japanese once paid for a top notch, state-of-the-art hospital, with all bells and whistles of modern medical technology. But no doctors and nurses wanted to work there! Why? The Japanese had planned a special corruption proof payment system, so that the staff could not get "gifts"...
Vietnamese usually give $$$ to the doctors(especially surgeons) at public hospitals to jump Q or to ensure the surgeon's hands don't tremble during operation. Almost all Vietnamese doctors have their own private clinics(these are their cash cow); they donate their salaries at the public hospitals
to charities.
