Japanese Medicine

I was at an orientation for work where a European guy laughed about how bad the Japanese medical system was. He is an asshole. Not really, but if you are not an American, it is hard to understand what an amazing thing it is to walk into a medical clinic, say what is wrong and be treated. That's it. I have been to the hospital three times this week, after injuring my knee surfing. The total cost has been about $30. That includes two X-rays, two injections and three laser treatments. It is amazing what the American public will allow to be denied to them.
