• ... that Dr. Oen Boen Ing used his own money to pay for some patients' prescriptions?

Wacana. 18 (2): 478. doi:10.17510/wacana.v18i2.592. – "Whenever Dr Oen knew a patient could not afford to pay for medicine, he would sign and stamp the prescription. [...] A prescription bearing Dr Oen’s signature meant that the doctor himself would pay for it out of his own pocket."

• ALT1: ... that Dr. Oen Boen Ing, who often worked for free, was so popular that the Indonesian government was petitioned to not evacuate him during a period of violence against Chinese Indonesians? Source: Lie, Ravando (2017). "Dr Oen Boen Ing: Patriot Doctor, Social Activist, and Doctor of the Poor" (PDF). Wacana. 18 (2): 467. doi:10.17510/wacana.v18i2.592. – "The report also said that Dr Oen was able to assist more than 200 patients a day and more than half of them did not have to pay a single penny. ... When a series of anti-Tionghoa upheaval erupted in Surakarta, Dr Oen was supposed to be evacuated to a safe place by the Republican government. However, after hearing such a plan, people in Surakarta submitted a petition rejecting the idea and hoping Dr Oen would remain in Surakarta to assist the poor."

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Earwig marked ~40% for the Wacana PDF, but a spot check indicates that it's probably due to the foreign language element and particular phrasing like "fun fairs"; I didn't see any serious issues. Promoter, feel free to double-check my work; this is my first QPQ review. ThaesOfereode (talk) 21:16, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

• Thanks. I reviewed Earwig, and changed "decided to move" to "moved", but most of these are proper names or direct quotations. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
