End of my Japanese Hospital Adventure 日本醫院冒險記最終回

（中文版在下面）
After spending almost once a week at the hospital due to "Tuberculosis suspicion" hypothesized by my clinic doctor, all tests turned out negative. DUH... I already told you doc, I didn't have tuberculosis. But no, my young "specialist" doctor insisted that I go to the hospital 4 times in a month till they find traces of this deadly bacteria. I didn't believe that I had TB, but after all his psyching to do further tests, he made me believe that I indeed could have contracted TB.

The first thing on my 4th(and final) appointment was to get an xray again. So I went to the radiology department but was surprised that the technician wanted to take a side view xray too. I told him that I was worried about the amount of radiation that I already received, but he reassured that the dosage from xray was so small that it's okay to take several times. WHAT? You mean I can even take 2 xrays per week for 1 month and be totally cool? Alright... since you insist and you're the professional, fine.

LUCKily, the shadow had somehow disappeared so it seemed to be a case of mild pneumonia. So I asked my "specialist" to analyze the side view xray for me. After all, what I think is useless for me may be useful for them. But guess what he replied? "Oh actually it's difficult to see things on the side view xray". Great doc, you made me take these side view xrays in the past to fill some xray quota right?

Sensing my frustration that he made me do so many tests and visits for nothing, he reassured me that it was definitely a safe and wise choice to do them. Moreover, it's possible that the antibiotics that were given to me earlier had CURED my TUBERCULOSIS!? WHAT? Tuberculosis can be cured easily with 2 weeks of antibiotics? Great, must be some kind of miracle medicine you have there, remember to apply patent and let me endorse it.

So...it took the hospital 1 full month to complete all tests and conclude that I had no TB. Meanwhile, I HAD RECOVERED ALL BY MYSELF without any drugs from them! After all, it was common cold and mild pneumonia, not TB.

Finally, as a final closure to this stupid suspicion case, my young "specialist" doctor asked if I'd fully recovered from my common cold. I told him that my nose is still stuffy and occasionally a bit of phlegm, but it's so minor and doesn't bother me that much. So like the usual cautious and paranoid "specialist" he was, he gave me this advice: "I recommend that you see the Otolaryngology department to have them examine your nose. Because if your condition persists, it's possible that your pneumonia will return and cause damage to your lungs"... ...

... ... ...(speechless)

I conclude that Japanese doctors here must had received some kind of marketing and sales training as requisite to their practice.

因為被診所的醫生懷疑是肺癆，所以幾乎每週一次去大醫院接受檢察。結果如我所料，不是肺癆嘛!!!#*%$的年輕專科醫生還一直勸我接受一系列的測試，直到找出肺癆細菌為止！本來不信的，但是被他這樣催眠後漸漸相信真的有了！orz...

第4次復診，又要我去照X光。到了輻射部門，護士說側面也要。我說啊，被照了這麼多次了，很擔心輻射也...結果護士解釋說X光的輻射性很低，可以照很多次都沒問題。靠！也就是說一個月照6片都沒問題嗎？幹。竟然你是專科，沒話說，照吧。

幸好之前的奇怪影子消失了，也就是說不是肺癆而可能是肺炎！那側面X光有用嗎？結果醫生看了一下說...“其實側面X光很難看得出有任何東西“。靠！你是說之前要我照的幾次側面X光都是拿來擺設的嗎？

因為看得出我很無奈要我來醫院那麼多次幹嘛，所以醫生安撫我說這些檢測是絕對正確的！做徹底的檢察會比較安心。況且，之前給我的抗生素可能把肺癆細菌給克服了。靠靠靠！肺癆可以單靠2週的抗生素就被殺死了嗎？太神奇了。有這種神藥要記得申請專利，然後請我做代言人！

最妙的是...醫院竟然花了一個月的時間來檢測我是否得了肺癆。而且在復診的當兒，我全靠自己微弱的免疫力來慢慢康復的！

最後要結案時，醫生問了我一下感冒完全好了嗎？我說鼻子還是偶爾塞住的，有點痰，但是比之前好多了。然後醫生給了我最後的小忠告：“我建議妳最好去耳鼻喉專科去看看妳的鼻子。因為假如繼續下去，妳的肺炎有可能復發，傷到妳的肺就嚴重了。”

我堅信日本的醫生在行醫以前，一定受過某銷售訓練的。
