The
appointment
time
has
already
passed,
but
the
examination
has
not
even
started.
The
waiting
room
is
very
crowded,
with
many
patients
unable
to
sit
in
chairs.
I
feel
very
anxious
about
spending
a
considerable
amount
of
time
in
this
situation
during
the
anxiety
caused
by
the
coronavirus
pandemic.
I
also
feel
very
anxious
about
patients
who
have
undergone
PCR
tests
being
together
in
the
waiting
room
on
the
same
floor.
(Conversation
with
the
office
staff
or
nurse
in
the
waiting
room:
``The
doctor
said
that
if
you
take
the
PCR
test,
you
can
go
home
today.The
results
of
the
PCR
test
are
not
available
yet.'')
Ultrasound
(echo)
tests
also
sometimes
have
long
wait
times.
This
time,
the
examination
started
30
minutes
after
the
scheduled
time.
Including
the
waiting
time
before
that,
I
had
to
wait
50
minutes.
(This
test
took
20
minutes!
Did
you
wrap
it
up?)
Depending
on
the
technician,
the
test
may
be
completed
in
about
30
minutes,
but
some
may
take
over
60
minutes.
I
became
worried
because
it
was
taking
much
longer
than
usual,
and
asked
the
technician
in
charge
if
something
had
happened,
but
he
replied,
``I
just
wanted
to
take
a
closer
look.''
When
I
asked
the
doctor
in
charge
about
this
during
my
examination,
he
said,
``I
guess
he's
still
a
new
patient.''
I
cannot
proceed
to
the
examination
until
this
is
completed.
I
have
to
be
prepared
for
a
long
wait
for
that
doctor's
appointment,
so
the
waiting
hell
continues.
When
it
comes
to
blood
tests,
there
are
some
nurses
who
are
not
able
to
collect
enough
samples,
and
who
look
visibly
confused.In
the
end,
some
nurses
only
provide
guidance
on
blood
tests,
but
the
collection
itself
is
replaced
by
a
senior
nurse,
who
plays
a
supporting
role.
There
is.
This
time
too,
I
was
unable
to
collect
the
sample
and
was
transferred
to
another
nurse.
``I'm
sorry.''
It
seems
to
take
more
than
10
minutes
to
collect.
Because
of
this,
the
progress
is
slow
and
only
time
passes.
Also,
when
getting
vaccinated
for
the
coronavirus,
the
medical
questionnaire
says,
``Have
you
received
your
doctor's
approval?''
When
I
inquired
about
this,
the
doctor
replied
curtly,
``Please
make
your
own
decision.''
It
took
quite
a
long
time
to
make
the
call,
and
the
response
took
about
30
seconds
like
this.
I
was
stunned
and
couldn't
ask
anything
back.
When
I
have
to
change
my
reservation,
the
phone
calls
I
make
often
go
unanswered
(I
try
to
call,
but
they
never
answer),
and
even
when
I
do,
I
often
don't
even
get
a
call
back.
It
took
a
lot
of
time
to
get
the
call
back,
and
it
took
a
lot
of
time
to
wait
for
a
call
back,
which
took
a
lot
of
effort.
It's
depressing
to
have
to
make
a
phone
call.
Quite
stressful.
A
recent
reservation
form
states
that
``as
a
general
rule,
please
do
not
change
your
reservation.''
From
reception
to
checkout,
it
takes
about
three
and
a
half
hours.
Even
though
it
is
in
Shinjuku
Ward,
the
location
is
inconvenient
and
it
is
difficult
to
get
to
the
hospital.
The
Toei
Oedo
Line
has
opened,
but
the
new
subway
is
deep
underground
and
takes
a
long
time
to
reach
the
surface
(of
course,
there
are
elevators
and
escalators,
but
the
number
of
elevators
is
limited
and
the
capacity
is
small,
and
the
escalators
are
There
is
a
risk
of
falling
during
use).
Then
walk
further
to
the
hospital.
It
is
impossible
for
elderly
people
from
families
without
a
private
car
to
go
to
the
hospital.
There
is
a
bus
that
leaves
the
bus
stop
in
front
of
Tokyo
Women's
Medical
University,
but
the
bus
stop
does
not
have
a
roof,
so
it
is
difficult
to
wait
for
the
bus
on
rainy
days.
Very
stressful.
The
company
has
a
half-day
off
system,
but
it
doesn't
fit
within
that
scope.
I
have
to
take
a
whole
day
off.
One
day,
as
I
was
waiting
for
my
doctor's
appointment,
someone
from
the
floor
above
said
to
me,
``I've
reached
my
limit!
I
can
not
do
it!
come
on!
!
'
A
woman's
scream
echoes.
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
patient
or
an
attendant
because
I
can't
see
it,
but
it
echoes
quite
a
bit
because
it's
an
atrium
from
the
basement
to
the
first
floor
lobby,
third
and
fourth
floors.
Everyone
looked
at
the
person
who
was
listening
with
a
suspicious
look
on
their
face.
Since
the
onset
of
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
many
patients
are
feeling
anxious
about
going
to
the
hospital.
This
applies
not
only
when
you
are
in
the
hospital,
but
also
on
the
transportation
you
use
to
get
to
the
hospital.
In
order
to
avoid
the
rush
hour,
some
people
use
taxis,
which
is
a
way
to
reduce
the
risk
of
infection,
but
it
is
expensive.
Regarding
bonus
payments,
there
is
a
problem
of
large
numbers
of
nurses
and
clerical
workers
retiring
because
the
amount
of
bonuses
paid
is
small
or
reduced,
but
in
the
first
place,
most
small
and
medium-sized
enterprises
do
not
pay
bonuses,
so
it
is
important
to
note
that
bonuses
are
paid.
Don't
you
think
that
in
itself
is
a
blessing?
Basically,
a
bonus
is
something
that
is
distributed
when
there
is
profit.
It
would
be
great
to
receive
a
lot
of
them,
but
are
there
many
civil
servants
who
are
out
of
touch
with
society?
Furthermore,
an
investigation
has
been
launched
into
the
payment
of
salaries
to
doctors
and
other
employees
who
are
not
actually
working
there.
I
don't
know
if
that
is
the
reason,
but
the
doctor
in
charge
is
reducing
the
number
of
patients
he
is
taking
care
of
because
``the
system
is
changing
drastically.''
Is
it
a
medical
institution
where
there
are
many
unknowns
regarding
the
flow
of
money?
It
was
also
very
disturbing
to
see
the
reception
staff
chatting
and
laughing
from
behind
the
counter,
in
full
view
of
the
patients
who
were
waiting
endlessly.
Hospitals
are
very
stressful
to
visit.
