A hospital in Dali county, Shaanxi province, was so desperate to drive up profits it gave gynecological treatment to a male patient.

The hospital ordered all doctors and nurses to recruit new patients for medical treatment to increase revenue. Every department was set a certain financial quota by attracting more patients.

Struggling to cope with the influx, the gynecology department was forced also to host male patients, while kids in the pediatric department were forced to rub shoulders with some seniors.

The local government has launched an investigation into the hospital.
