A story of how a doctor in China secretly drugged his girlfriend with sleeping tablets and then gave her abortion pills has sparked outrage on social media. According to South China Morning Post, the couple had been in a romantic relationship since November 2021 and the woman surnamed Wang, found out she was pregnant on May 14 this year.

When Wang, 34, excitedly shared the news with her boyfriend, who is a urologist. However, he wasn’t happy and told her he did not want marriage or children and tried to persuade her to terminate the pregnancy. When she insisted on keeping the baby, the doctor devised a plan to terminate her pregnancy. 

The couple met at a convenience store to discuss the matter, where the doctor bought water and Wang purchased a bottle of Coke. After a few days, Wang received a WeChat call from her boyfriend, who wanted to know whether she had bled yet. He revealed that he put an abortion pill in her Coke. It was then that she realised that her boyfriend had taken her drink out of her hands several times. 

A few days later, the couple had dinner together at her flat where she suddenly felt tired and fell asleep. When she woke up, he gave her a drink laced with medication, following which she had an abortion the next evening. 

”I was suffering from massive bleeding, so I dared not move,” Wang said.

Though her boyfriend admitted to drugging her, Wang did not report him to the police after he wrote a letter of apology and asked her to marry him. However, when she realised the promise of marriage was false, she recently called the police to report the incident.

Meanwhile, the story has shocked social media users in China who are calling the woman to run away from him.

”Run away quickly. He gave you abortion pills this time, who knows what he will feed you in the future,” one user wrote. 

Stories about medical malpractice on the mainland frequently go viral on social media.

As the ODI Cricket World Cup is underway in India, the Australia Captain took some time off from the field and spent time with his family in Delhi. He shared a sneak peek of his day with his son and wife as he visited the famous Lodhi Gardens in south Delhi.

In another picture, his little boy is seen walking and running around the gardens. The third picture displays an adorable moment between his wife Becky and their son. The last slide in the carousel melted the hearts of the cricketer’s fans as his son was seen observing a stray dog while lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, Australia defeated Pakistan in a run-fest at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Friday. David Warner slammed 163 off 124 while Mitchell Marsh hit 121 off 108 to help Australia post 367 for 9 in 50 overs after getting an invitation to bat. The Pat Cummins-led side managed to post a big total despite Shaheen Afridi’s five-wicket haul (5 for 54). In reply, Pakistan were bundled out for 305, thanks to Adam Zampa’s 4 for 53. Imam-ul-Haq (70) and Abdullah Shafique (64) stitched a solid opening stand of 134 runs but Pakistan failed to cash in on the opportunity. They will be now facing the Netherlands at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi tomorrow.
