A Canadian national has become an unexpected advocate for China’s healthcare system following an exceptionally efficient surgical experience in Yichang, Hubei province. Guy Francis Bennett, a 66-year-old journalist and filmmaker, suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during a soccer match two months ago. When medical authorities in Vancouver informed him he would face a minimum one-year waiting period for routine minimally invasive surgery, Bennett grew concerned about the potential deterioration of his condition and disruption to his professional life.
