Abstract

You don't expect medical students to wear military uniforms. But a small group of students was neatly attired in formal military dress when we met at Changhai Hospital last week. As an affiliated hospital to the Second Military Medical University in Shanghai, uniforms are an unexceptional part of the culture. The word “military” is a misnomer though. Patients (and doctors) with no military background at all come from all over the nation to this well-equipped, state-of-the-art academic medical centre in the educational heartland of the city (Fudan and Tongji Universities are close by).
