Mr Zheng, 47, was sent home and given three months to live.

During that time, Mr Zheng was in agony. Neighbours reported hearing his screams at night, according to local media interviews with his wife.

She claimed that three doses of the prescribed painkillers did nothing to relieve his pain.

A local doctor refused to carry out the procedure and the family did not have the funds to visit the hospital.

I agree with varyne.
What is the problem with people taking their health into their own hands?

Why? They have over a billion other people to care about, I don't see why this one should matter.

So what? They aren't human? It's government fault. They waste money on fake buildings. Instead of "Helping Them"

Because?
I believe you're old enough to use constructive criticism.

@Accname,
Thats because you're a fat shit with foul teeth sitting at your PC masturbating to brazilian fart pornos. You probably don't even see the light, if the money thats shoved up your ass wouldn't reflect the few sun rays that reach through the closed blenders. There are people in this world who cannot afford medical treatments. And those with chronic illnesses generally need help from multiple other organizations to be able to live. For every individual to pay a small amount into the health insurance pot is much more affordable than raising great amounts of money for when you're really in a pinch.
I really want to see you when you're old and sick and can't wipe your own ass and can't afford some help, to at least keep your dignity.
Excuse my rant. I guess taking Accname and Varine serious is just like saying Justin Bieber is a good musician.

+1 Yeah Well, even if they have work/health insurance "they would still have trouble affording any care" Not surprisingly, when "Health care cost too much!"

Because it is not my problem. So what happens if I get old and decrepit and can't contribute to society, let alone take care of myself? That isn't YOUR problem, or anyone else's, it comes down to the fault of me for not having managed my affairs properly enough to take care of what I need to. And I don't think you know how much you're actually paying for it, because it's not a 'small pinch', but whatever. You appear fine paying for it, great you live in a country where the culture wants that. I do not, and I don't want it, so don't sit there on your high horse and pretend like you're better than we are because you like to think of yourself as a philanthropist due to your mandatory taxation. I don't care about other people, they're affairs are not my problem and I sure as fuck shouldn't be paying for their medical care because they for whatever reason, maybe by fault of their own, maybe not, aren't able to.

Varine, how did you grow up to be such a selfish moron? Is it really too much to ask for a small amount of money from you to make someone elses life better? It's only funny when you say "don't sit there on your high horse and pretend like you're better than we are" because that's the image you're giving of yourself.

And why are you registered in a site called thehelper.net, when you clearly don't care about other peoples problems?

Giving money is certainly not "the only way to help poor people" You might need to help them help themselves! Well, If you don't want to give it's okay. But a little "Sympathy" doesn't hurt.

Btw: At least the government at the country "should do something More!" Instead of "Turning a Blind Eye"

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
