Gov't lists 10,000 clinics offering telemedicine for new patients

... all in Japanese, so far. Hopefully they will provide the information in other languages as well.

Sure wish I could get my gout pills automatically without going to the doctors office filled with really old and bored people.

As soon as I have symptoms I’m walking straight to the hospital. For the amount of money I pay every month for health insurance, I better get a test.

Can we get an English version?

Well consider the numbers, 120,000,000 or so Japanese and what, maybe 3,000,000 foreigners that speak languages from all over the planet?

What do you expect? I mean seriously, if you need assistance in your language, try your local prefectural home pages, they have information in Chinese, English Korean, and many in Spanish as well.

Seems to me some folks seem to forget what country they are in!

you are living in willie wonky land. Not gonna happen. Best bet is to fly to SK and get tested for free at the airport.

If the phone numbers were in mostly logical order the clinics would be easier to figure out. They randomly jump in my prefecture.

Can consultations also be done by fax?

Fruit tarts for gout are great. Thanks for the information and online consultation here on JT.

Glad I could help
