Regarding hospitals, most might have ideas such as “Procedures are bothersome.” or “Systems seem to be so complicated.” However those are not contributed to vanities or poses by hospitals. On the contrary most both doctors and other stuffs at hospitals do their best to offer optical care and cure for patients. The problems are that diseases are so complex that patients have to be cared with each remedy, medical officers and doctors always try to adapt up-to-date skills in progressing technics and discoveries, and that they are discussing how medical assets are allocated to institutions such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and so on due to some environmental changes in population, economic situation and diseases changes in Japan. Those might cause to make the systems and procedures at hospitals complicated for most civilians. In this book we can understand those reasons and background. Norihiro Kimura-sensei, the author, the associate professor at Takasaki University Health and Welfare, does not only study a lot of materials at desk but also visit many institutions and meet a lot of medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists and stuffs to exchange opinions. So we can find out this book was written in only armchair theory. With practical words and ideas, even readers who are not at medical works would understand details.
