Wags - that sounds interesting, will give it a shot!

Kuro - Yeah, when I say chicken soup, I get the reaction I would expect from asking for "fermented dead baby juice." Definitely worth stocking up on .

[Samurai_Jerk]

Sort of a tangent but my requests for chicken soup to the local and willing lemurs have been met with an impressive amount of confusion. Chiiiiken? Sooooooppu? Whaaaaaa??

Tell them you want tori-gara soup and tell them not to strain out the meat that comes off the tori-gara. Then once they've made it tell them to add diced carrots, celery, and tomato and a little pasta and let it simmer for another 30 or 40 minutes.

WTF wants sloppy rice when you've got a cold!!????

Are you talking about okayu? Chinese congee is much better and the Vietnamese version called cháo is the mother fucking bomb.

That looks totally workable! Thanks SJ!

In Osaka the emergency clinics give you meds to get to the next business day (perhaps plus a day more). Of course, when I had a severe ear infection, the doctor just gave me some cream and didn't give me any instructions on it (and actually misdiagnosed it).

When I lived near one (1 minute walk away or something) and fucked up my leg, the people there were polite enough to inform me that they couldn't help me and to get the hell out. The bitch at the reception looked pissed when I made her call an ambulance for me. If there's anything I hate about doctor's here, it's that there aren't general practitioners, which means you're usually screwed if you go to the wrong kind of doctor.

You went to the gynecologist with a broken leg?

So despite me washing my hands like crazy and doing all I could to avoid it, IPU gave me the good ol Influenza. With a 39.2℃ temp and all the achey fun that comes with it, I opted to go to the only hospital nearby that was open. (silly me for getting sick on a 3 day weekend) I was going there in hopes of getting some Tamiflu but was thwarted at every angle. First explanation I got was the policy in Japan to only give out 1 days worth of meds if you go in there at night?? They said I'd have to come back the next reg business day for more meds. (This was on sat night so basically telling me I was SOL for a couple days) The next problem was their flu test came back negative. The doc was like "it's just a cold, you're fine!" The nurse, however, said "No way, it's the flu....temp is too high and you got all the flu, not cold symptoms,...it's probably that you just came in too quickly for it to give a positive result." (googurued it and apparently false negatives with flu tests are a very common) Anywhoo, has anyone else had this "only 1 days worth of meds" experience? Seems like a great way to create all kinds of drug resistance strains of bacteria and virii.

Don't worry, you probably only have Ebola. Did you do any international travelling lately? And what's with the relationship 'with I Parry U? Is that poster a 'she' and your girlfriend? Genuine question there, I'm out of the fucked gaijin loop as I've never met anybody on these forums tho I must say I'd love to have a drink with a lot of you especially Kurogane.

Actually last time I was in Japan I was one time in Chiba which is apparently where McTojo comes from and he has a blog so it would be easy to contact him thru that. I was tempted to do so but being a whitey and having read his most reverse racist posts when I used to lurk on gaijinpot and he was a poster, I thought it would end uncomfortably if I did.

McTojo strikes me as being a few snags short of a barbie as we say in Oz and after being pleasant initially might turn out to behave very irrationally. David Aldwinkle , sorry Debito, strikes me as being a bit like McTojo in that way.

Fuck lemurs. Well, fuck lemurs later. First, get IPU to mix you up one of these panaceas.

not a good idea.. i am just getting done being sick, well not sick any more, but i could pass off something to him. So we have been keeping our distance and what not so we dont... snowball the sickness.

I actually quit that charity and dont bring them back anymore... Last time I brought one back, well... is going to cost me a grand or two.

[wangta]

Sorry to confuse your gender, I don't know much about fg posters except for kurogane and mctojo because they were big posters on gaijinpot and I used to read it a lot w/out joining.

Good on you for having a share situation - I've never done that working in Japan or Korea. It would certainly have made life easier and more interesting given I always ended up working outside the real cities in both countries and not by choice.

How did a lemur cost you 2 grand? Actually I think lemurs (the zoo variety) are rather cute so maybe these women need to be given another category of animal name.

Well, if the story you tell is actually true and not the usual gaijin half-truth + hyperbole + exaggeration, the clinic, if properly registered etc broke the law. Medical practitioners are required by law to provide treatment or advice on access to required treatment regardless of their specialist field.

I have had my own son diagnosed with influenza and been provided with the relevant, necessary meds... at a dermatologist.

Furthermore...

that there aren't general practitioners, which means you're usually screwed if you go to the wrong kind of doctor.

WTF? I don't know what ghetto you live in but you can't go half a block, let alone a -cho or a 学区 around here without tripping over a(nother) local GP...

Unless "don't get caught" is some sort of law... You'd be amazed big how big of a catchall the sentence "we did everything we could" is...

I guess she figured that giving me a piece of paper basically saying to call 119 if it's a real emergency was sufficient.

内科 might be the closest thing to a GP here but really they're a bit different - GPs basically do a bit of everything (such as diagnose a stress fracture, ear infection, or drain your knee) but you're average dude at a 内科 is going to try to push you off for all of those things (he might look at your ear, but won't actually be able to help you a lot). They have a specialty and outside of stuff like a cold or the flu try to push you away when you have something outside of their specialty.

[matsuki]

I've found the most common specialty of 内科 is failing at practicing medicine here, but maybe that's just me. I think I've told the story before but years ago I got told by one casual asshole 内科 that I had herpes...based on nothing more than a glance at my sack....when all it turned out to be was a rash. (hot, sweaty summer and all that friction....mmm) I googled herpes on my keitai and showed him how it looked nothing like herpes. He refused to do/say anything more than he was 100% it was the herp. Being the rational person I am, I got a second opinion at a nearby dermatologist...who correctly diagnosed it as simply a rash and got me some ointment that cleared it right up. Not hard to imagine the ass telling some youngin' they got the herp and then becoming Chuo line splatter the next day.

If you kill yourself over herpes, it's not the doctors fault.

he probably wanted you to do a lot of tests and what not... decent size insurance claim for all that shit you would have to take/get.

so if you did splat yourself on the train and had herpes, would everyone that got your blood on them get herpes too?

Regardless of who's fault it is, you know what drama queens teenagers are. I've seen a friend go sleepless and crazy because an ex claimed she gave him herpes AFTER he told her to fuck off. Reasonable dude and totally "she's bullshitting" mindset but she was fucked enough to do that to him and he was sweating balls til his test results came back negative.

he probably wanted you to do a lot of tests and what not... decent size insurance claim for all that shit you would have to take/get.

Quite the opposite, no tests, not much more than a glance before he decided his diagnosis. if it was malicious in nature, it probably had to do with my gf there with me. He blurted out everything without much thought and actually said "you two shouldn't have sex until this clears up."
