Tourists visit TCM clinic for stiff neck, end up paying nearly $1,000 after allegedly being upsold treatmentsA tourist from Thailand said she and her boyfriend ended up paying nearly $1,000 after visiting a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinic in Singapore for what was supposed to be treatment for her stiff neck. “I thought the price was still acceptable and I really wanted relief for my stiff neck, so I agreed,” she told Shin Min. Lincoln, who does not speak Chinese, added that he only found out later from Ms Zhang that the procedure was bloodletting. Upset by the experience, Ms Zhang later detailed the incident in a series of posts on Xiaohongshu, where they attracted widespread attention. When Shin Min returned to the clinic the following morning, it was still unable to obtain an official response.
