There's so much "China.... high speed rail..." posting these days that before I got to the end of the sentence I had already assumed it was going to be about high speed rail and was deeply confused that the sentence ended with "high speed satellite".
Surgery being performed on a high speed rail would still be pretty amazing though, it would mean it is an incredibly smooth ride.
My split second thought was that a doctor was being shot across the country at 500 miles per hour to do like... 5 operations at five different hospitals in a single day or something.
Mao was upset that doctors couldn't travel to all the rural areas they needed to in time, so he organised the barefoot doctors program as a "good enough" solution. But what if he could just launch doctors across the country to wherever they're needed?
