Tokyo Life
"Our Tokyo" Family Doctors
Which hospital do you go to when you have a stomach ache, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, or are simply not feeling well? Do you have a hospital you usually go to? Do you have a doctor you can consult? When you are sick, it can be very difficult to find a new hospital or doctor, so it is a good idea to have a "family doctor" you may visit when you are sick. You may have more than one "family doctor".
"Family Doctors"
- A doctor/s you always consult when you are sick
- A doctor/s you can feel comfortable consulting with
- A doctor/s who knows a lot about your health
- A doctor/s you may consult with about anything
When You Have a "Family Doctor"...
- ...you can talk to them about anything regarding your health.
- ...if necessary, they will refer you to a specialist hospital.
- ...they may notice something unusual about your body, or an illness at an early stage.
Points to Consider When Talking to Your Doctor
- Take note of what you want to tell the doctor, and bring it with you.
- Try to tell them as much as possible about how your condition differs from your usual.
- Tell the doctor what has changed since your last consultation.
Please be careful to communicate well with your doctor.
