Doctor Arrested for Drugging Mental Patients and Selling Them as Wives

[Pert_UK]

I've been to Guandong province....just thought I'd mention it...

"Chinese police arrested the director of a psychiatric hospital for drugging female patients and selling them off as wives, a police official said Tuesday.

Dr Wang Chaoying, head of a mental hospital in Huazhou in southern Guangdong, had made more than 20 transactions since 1998 in which he sold patients as wives for "thousands of yuan," the government-owned Qianlong news Web site reported at www.qianlong.com.

"He was arrested for selling women. The case is still under investigation," Ruan Rongzhi, a police officer in Huazhou, told Reuters by telephone when asked about the report. He declined to give details.

Qianlong said the women had been forced to take medicine before they were sold in order to keep the buyers from realizing they were mental patients."

Hello, I'd like to buy a wife please.
Certainly...This one is only 5000RMB. She's very quiet but I'm fairly sure she'll liven up a bit eventually.....quite a lot in fact....in about 12 hours.

Hooray for China and its sensible policies creating harmony throughout the land.......

1. That is a horrid story

But I MUST take one moment to thank you for using "If you can be arsed" and making my day. I use that phrase in many different forms on a daily basis, and I can't tell you HOW many times I've had to go back and delete it before posting. I usually say I "cannae be arsed" doing this or that. Regardless, I will feel free from now on to be arsed using it as I please! :D
