日本で病院や薬に困ったら、まずここへ。

I rented a bicycle in Yokohama, but the traffic rules in Japan are different from the US. I got confused and fell. My wrist started to swell, so I used Japan Medical Press to find a hospital where English is spoken, called them, and got an X-ray. Luckily it wasn't broken. My trip to Japan could have been ruined. Thank you!

我来日本出差两周，嗓子疼、一直流鼻涕，可是没有时间去医院，就想先用非处方药应付一下。我在 Japan Medical Press 上查了怎么选药，在堂吉诃德买到了适合自己症状的药，还用上面的日语句子把症状告诉了药品柜台的工作人员。

Japan Medical Press explained that I couldn't simply buy my usual prescription medicine in Japan, so I saw a doctor at a local clinic and was prescribed a medicine with the same active ingredient.

Mein Sohn hat sich beim Spielen den Kopf gestoßen, und ich war unsicher, ob wir nachts in die Notaufnahme müssen. Ein medizinisches Problem im Ausland macht einem wirklich Sorgen, und weil es um mein Kind ging, wäre ich fast in Panik geraten. Weil ich nachlesen konnte, worauf man in so einem Fall achten sollte, konnte ich in Ruhe entscheiden.

We had moved to Japan for my husband's job, and I felt unwell while I was pregnant. I found out which departments I could go to and that there is a phone line for advice at night, which was very reassuring.

저희 부부는 일본에 오래 머무는 동안 독감 예방접종을 맞고 싶었습니다. 예약 방법과 비용, 챙겨 갈 것을 미리 확인할 수 있어서 어렵지 않게 접종을 받았습니다.

After a day at the beach, an insect bite started to swell. Knowing when it's worth seeing a doctor helped me decide to go, and I found a dermatology clinic that was open in the evening. The doctor spoke English. The receptionist didn't, so I was a little lost at first, but everyone was very kind.

旅行第三天，我的一颗大牙开始疼。我了解到即使是没有中文服务的牙科，也可以用翻译软件看病，就照着做了，第二天早上就看上了牙医。
