Several years ago, when I lived in Shanghai, I tested positive for malaria. A taxi came in the middle of the night to take me to a medical isolation facility about 2 hours outside the city. The photo looks just like the hospital room I was given. I had a room of my own, but many of the details of this account (no privacy, the food, the cool efficiency of the staff) are very familiar.
I can also say that I have eaten many times at Great Leap, which is celebrated for its burgers by foreign and Chinese diners alike.
What an incredibly miserable situation. I'm glad he wrote it up--hopefully others will be spared, although I don't know how that will come about. I have a cousin who I think still lives in China, with his Chinese wife and their children.
