I did comment to my gal about not seeing many disabled people about in Japan.
She's got a nice bod. I'd hit that!

this was the only thing informative that you said on subject...Coligny wrote:You should really try civilised countries one day, without baby eating dingos, giant spider, killer stingrays and satanic road trains (they exist, I saw a drocrumentary, don't try to bullshit mee)... Because in some other... every company with more than 50 employees get subjected to a quota of person with disabilities. (and when they can get an autist for quality control usually they are quite happy...). And even some sort of medicalised frat house (foyer) for people with down syndrome. Not like in japan where they are locked in a shed or tied near the outhouse. It's just a common living place/ building where they live and are cared for in the evening. Since usually they also have jobs and organised social activities (sports and trips). But yeah... no pork barrell contract to put rumble strips on all sidewalks (but pretty sur there are some at pedestrian crossings). I don't know the full list of service offered by the state health care. But the (OMG COMMY SOCIALIST STATE HEALTHCARE WHERE YOU CAN'T EVEN CHOOSE WHICH PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL FUCK YOU UP AND DROP YOU AT THE FIRST WOUND) sorry... what was I saying ? Sooo... basically, even if in case of massively abnormal situation (heat wave of 2003) not everything is nice smooth and shiny... in most case, you are cared for (have to check the new universal healthcare thingy, but when it was in writing phase, the basic was as long as you have citizenship and spend at least 3 previous month in France wether you paid subscription fee or not to the healthcare you are allowed for basic coverage. Can't remember well, but that include any life threatening illness or injury and -maybe- also any treatment that is covered 100% by the insurance). And believe it or not... having people who can have raging toothacke(*) treated without needing them to have 3 jobs and sell their car make it for a better workforce...
(*) Ok, that's a bad example, because french dentist are grade A asshole who usually accept new 'customers(**)' only if they have recomendation letters, their is usually weeks of waiting and you have to listen to classical music during the wholee ordeal...
(**) Saying 'customer' instead of patient is not exactly well perceived in the european medical world... not so much in japan unfortunately... and you can consider yourself happy when you are a 'patient' and not a 'casualty'

Now on topic...
1- yeah she is smoking hot
2- I'm still puzled by what kind of workplace can have accidents where a 21yo woman can lose a leg
3- also don't she receive a pension for this injury ? Usually workplace accident -> healthcare allimony -> company get crucified for health and safety breaches...
I know... we are in the country of Tepco and nuclear powerplant drunk driving (managing ? operating ?) But shit... there's limit to the expandability of the workforce no ?
My Grandpa once got his left thumb stuck in a factory elevator door. (Renault Billancourt) nerv cut so no more sensibility in the tip of the thumb... Got money for this until retirement.

Just sayin'.
Cos if we're playing the "in my experience" game, the rest of my family and I only ever had exemplary treatment,no silly waiting lists, no extortionate insurance costs and great doctors.
There are some lemons out there, however, it is when you start living/reading/writing/speaking in Japanese that you get out of the gaijin ghetto prescribed quacks and get real.

I don't think she was working at the neighborhood art-supply store. Without more details it's hard to judge the situation though.
Anyway, you said you didn't understand how a 21-year-old woman could be in a job that would lead to that kind of injury. I wasn't sure what her age or sex had to do with anything. If it said a 15 year-old high school kid doing a weekend 'baito I could understand your puzzlement.
That's exactly what a dangerous job implies.
