???

I have had four surgeries at the neurosurgery department for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, an incurable cervical spine disease, as well as surgery for a hernia in my lower back and spinal canal stenosis in my lower back. I still go to the hospital once a month for X-ray examinations.

????

There is always a doctor helicopter coming for emergency patients. The sound of it descending onto the rooftop heliport can be heard all the way to Kimiidera Station. The nurses are also very kind. The examination takes a whole day.

There is a Starbucks and Family Mart inside the medical school, so you can kill time even if you have to wait a long time.
There are also plenty of shops nearby, such as a taiyaki shop, supermarket, and cafes.

NaO

There are plenty of parking spaces available. There are only about two trains per hour, so waiting times at Kimiidera Station can be long, so it's best to pay close attention to the timetable.

????

Even though I'd been waiting two hours past my scheduled appointment time, there was no explanation as to whether they were running late or how many more hours I still had to wait. …

???

The clinic is open during the New Year holidays, weekends, and Obon holidays. Thank you to the doctors for your hard work every day for the people of Wakayama Prefecture. …

For the past two years, I have been receiving treatment from the respiratory surgery, respiratory medicine, hematology, gastroenterology, and otolaryngology departments.

My father has been hospitalized for the umpteenth time and has been taken care of here. He says the food here is better than at the local hospital.

I underwent surgery to remove hypopharyngeal cancer. I am currently recovering well. ?
I will be discharged from the hospital soon. ??? …

????

As you would expect from a university hospital, the staff are well trained. I have been treated here many times and am always satisfied.

????

It's a good hospital with friendly and polite staff. The waiting time for blood tests is similar at every hospital. It can't be helped.

The view from the wards at Wakayama Medical University Hospital
is truly spectacular.
The photo was taken just before dawn in late May.

A caregiver told me not to walk on the escalator, but it doesn't say so. It's annoying and annoying.

????

I am currently receiving medical treatment.
Strict coronavirus prevention measures are being taken.

???

The hospital staff are nice, but there are some patients who lack common sense, which is a problem?

??

I'm having surgery here next month, and it's my first major surgery, so I'm a little nervous.

???

The service is poor. The doctors are selfish and push their opinions on the patients.

?

It's not a local hospital, but it's quite big. Maybe the biggest in Wakayama City?

????

...I'm sorry.
But I'm glad I got to meet you, Sensei (^^)v …
