>>212702451 the doctor's office claims that the purpose of this form is to test their understanding of japanese why they would use these questions for that reason is a mystery
>>212702451 >>212702558 I think it's because Japanese hospitals were too defenseless As a result, patients violated the law and hospitals got angry with the government, patients got away with unpaid medical bills, and patients attacked doctors.
Incidentally, Chinese and Koreans are familiar with Japanese laws and medical systems, and they sometimes take advantage of Japanese subsidies to receive treatment. Currently, there is a business of Chinese teaching Chinese patients about loopholes in that law, and for that reason Japan is trying to change the law.
>>212703247 >Yes /No >はい/いいえ Because of over-familiarity with American culture, Japanese question text often looks like this. There's also the reason that it's easier to stand out when English is mixed in with Japanese. But I agree that it would have been more appropriate to put this question entirely in Japanese, as you questioned.
>>212703812 First we need to tell them what this question is about, and Japan has few Chinese speakers, probably fewer than the number of English speakers (less than 10%).
>>212705235 It's a language test meant to exclude Chinese people, hence the tricky switching between simple and negative questions. Answering any question incorrectly means they won't provide health services.
>>212701753 (OP) >Do you think patients can freely choose to refuse things like x-rays, braces and medication - Yes? What are they going to do? Forcibly give me meds?
>>212705936 >Immigrants who studied at universities or language schools or were hired by Japanese companies in recognition of their talents. >Immigrants who paid contractors and used loopholes to enter the country in order to abuse Japanese subsidies.

unironically all these would be normal in China too.

Japan >Monthly insurance premiums depend on salary >All hospitals charge the same price for treatment, and the cost of treatment increases with each additional treatment procedure >30% co-pay for treatment >There is a government subsidy to help with high treatment costs >Treatment costs are paid later
China >Monthly insurance premiums vary depending on occupation and region >Excellent doctors and hospitals with advanced equipment have higher treatment costs >Treatment costs outside the region where you pay insurance are fully self-paid >For example, if you move from the countryside to an urban hospital, you pay the full treatment cost >Part of the treatment cost is paid in advance
>>212701753 (OP) I dont even see a problem with this. Answer honestly and there won't be any problem if you don't do any of that. This probably happens extremely often there and it serves as a warning to not do this.
>>212702885 Foreigners always do stuff like this. While some cultures are just criminal, and that's why their societies are dysfunctional. Couple that with coming to another society with no sense of being part of it and no respect for it, and a way to escape if it goes wrong (go back).
>>212703720 What would be words used in Japanese for such a document
>>212705662 Yea this is strange and I would think illegal.
>>212701753 (OP) whats the problem here? its just testing the chinese and their japanese proficiency. the doctors obviously dont speak chinese and the person who got the form probably spoke little to no japanese. it's already nice of the hospital to write the top part in chinese desu

>>212708324 >no respect >tax evasion The Chinese are well scheduled to flee. In some cases, they may even do some tax evasion business before returning home. But they need a large community of their own people to help them do it, and they are very good at building communities in other countries.

>>212701753 (OP) >Does this happen in your country? Yes. If you're new to a practitioner, they make you fill out 3 or 4 sheets first. Pre-existing conditions, prior operations, allergies etc. etc. etc. They have to know if you have diabetes, hypertension, cancer or something before they start treatment.
No questions like in your picture, though.

There are legitimate reasons for this >If a patient uses a medical certificate to take an unspecified aid or similar medication that causes physical problems >If a patient needs urgent medication but refuses it, resulting in worsening of the condition or death This could happen, so before treatment, the patient must be required to pledge "I will not hold the doctor responsible for any of the above actions.

>>212701753 (OP) Who the fuck think this is a good idea? Even if you are trying to prevent patients from taking advantage of the system why would you use such a documented confrontational way that will surely cause controversies? I thought doctors are smart.
>>212702885 If they did not break any law then they did nothing wrong. Simple as.
>>212713179 top half is written in mainland chinese. they tend to be problematic not only in other countries but also in japan. >If they did not break any law do you want to see lots of examples here?
>>212701753 (OP) >that last point Call me a filthy korean but yes, that is entirely within a patient's rights. Sure, a doctor might claim that he won't be able to treat you in that case but in the end, it's your health.
>>212713179 Thanks to the Chinese, Japanese laws against foreigners will only become stricter. >Simple as.

Are you thinking, “It doesn't matter what is happening in Japan”? Please look into the Chinese people in your country.
