When the doctors here see my surgery scars they call a fuckin conference...... the topic is usually about how clean my scars are and how well my reconstructive surgery worked. They are totally in awe. It scares me. In most cases I demand what drugs I want and threaten to take my business to another clinic and then get what ever drugs I want. "My Dr back home have me........ and it worked!" !!!!! The mediacal professionals here know that they are light years behind the US, if you can prove that you know that, you get top treatment.
No doubt treatment in the US is way better if you have good insurance. But just ask Taro what his chances if getting decent medical attention would be if he moved back to the US.
BTW, does anyone in Japan do real physical therapy? So far what I've experienced is absolute crap.
