Every day, the hospital staff forced four or five different kinds of intravenous drip into Ms. Huang. If she resisted, the guard would cuff both of her hands to the headboard and raise the head of the bed so that when she slid down, the handcuffs would cut painfully into her wrists. At the same time, they administered intravenous drips into her leg. The handcuffs became tighter and tighter from the pulling of her body weight. The numbness in Ms. Huang's fingers and arms lasted for months, and she had trouble picking up items.
