Um, actually a lot of times Japanese either don't call a doctor, or have them pay a home visit.

Wait, actually, in a lot of countries people go to a local clinic for a doctor to check them up and tell 'em what to take. Wait, as far as I know in US they go to hospitals too.

Either most of my common knowledge about people's habits regarding getting medical treatment is wrong, or this TL-kun was drunk.

The translating team are really the goat here

THANK YOU

@N0Mi0 the difference being that in the US (as far as I understood reddit) you left with a huge left bill for a simple exam when in other countries either is free or the cost is just minimum

@Enyss They totally do have general practitioners though. They call them clinics and such, and they have about the same amount and kinds as in, say, America. Dermatologists, dentists. otolaryngologists. regular old physicians... just, people usually go to hospitals for some reason. While I've been here for a while, I've gone mostly to those places when I've needed something, otherwise getting supplies from drug stores. I haven't ever been to the hospital, but usually when I've gotten sick or hurt, my coworkers and friends have asked why I didn't go to one (even if all I did was fall bad and bleed a lot). I don't know things well enough to say how hospitals and health care REALLY work in Japan, but from my experience it just seems like there's a cultural stigma that if something's wrong with you, you should just go to the hospital.

In America, the hospital was only for the most serious or most pregnant of cases.

@ Swifft Incredibly the end of your comment was more fun in my language. Grave (serious), grávida (pregnant).

 

[ShockSword]

Well, actually, it's kind of a meme about US made by and for people outside it. In reality, most US citizens have a medical insurance, so they don't pay for services, or more like, they pay just per period for all potential cervices.

Again, I'm from a country with "free" medicine, so that's just as far as I know. In my country (Russia, lol), we have hospitals and polyclinics, the letter being a place where you get counselled, and examined on a basic level. Usually it's one hospital with quite a few polyclinics around. Since I've basically never heard this term outside Russia (well, I guess it's common in eastern Europe), I assume US and Japan just use hospitals.

@Barclayss @N0Mi0

I assume US and Japan just use hospitals.

Only about 90% of US citizens have health insurance and, for the most part, it does not cover 100% of medical bills or prescription drugs but typically only about 80%. There are also many health care clinics where citizens get their primary care and only use hospitals for emergency services, childbirth or surgeries. And, yes, even with insurance, you can be left with a huge bill not covered by the insurance. For example, treatment for cancer, say, that cost the insurance company $40,000 would end up costing most insured patients $8,000. A far cry from free health care.

Is Ichikawa counting prime numbers a reference to a certain priest?

 

[Vini]

Ichikawa A S M R is too powerful I guess.

It's just the trope of distracting yourself from stimulation to lose an erection.
