Scalpers allegedly are in cahoots with the "gua hao" registration staff

This place is a friggin' nightmare. Every single problem with the Chinese health care system encapsulated in one location. I tried getting a consultation on my rather serious sinus problem here recently because I hear this is the place to go for eye/ear/nose and throat. I couldn't even get a gua hao 挂号 number from the hospital, because they apparently sell all the good numbers to scalpers first thing in the morning.

Corrupt to the core.
