Hospital Plans Now Include Addiction ….to the Internet!
Shanghai plans to set up its first-full time psychological hospital to treat patients addicted to the Internet.
On the docket are military execises and music classes…and for extreme cases…electric shock therapy.
The hospital director – ""Our top task is using professional treatment methods to make those children realize their problem."
According to this news report, the hospital hopes (is that the right word here) to enroll 50 patients and charge them 10,000 yuan each.
Beijing already has one facility devoted to reprogramming kids.
