Soapbox: The 5 AM hospital wake-up call debate

Round Table China

About
It's 5 AM. You've finally dozed off after a night of beeping monitors and creaky gurneys, only to be shaken awake for vitals. Infuriating? Or lifesaving? Patients are furious, but medics stand by their protocols. Because in a hospital, rest and recovery don't always play nice. / Watch out for Sanfu in summer (13:24)! On the show: Steve, Yushan & Xingyu
