Students prep on amino acid drips

By Zheng Jinran | China Daily | Updated: 2012-05-08 07:59

More than 20 high school students in Hubei province had intravenous infusions of amino acids in their classroom in the hopes of providing extra energy to prepare for the national college entrance examination scheduled for early June.

The infusions, which doctors said were neither necessary nor wise, raise concerns about the health of students and the fierce competition in education.

Several pictures were uploaded to the Internet showing dozens of infusion bags hanging over the heads of a group of students in a classroom at Hubei Xiaogan No 1 High School on Friday night.
