Japanese visit a doctor nearly 14 times a year

Cripes, I don't think I've been that many times in my life.

It’s true - my wife is from Japan and when we first got married she wanted us both to go to the doctor if either of us had so much as a sniffle.

They get basic stuff like aspirin and such through their docs. Go at the drop of a hat. Over the counter too, but a lot of them are very doctor doctor.

She’s gotten better after years, but still very much a hypochondriac. It didn’t help she went through a bout of breast cancer 15 years ago. She at least doesn’t feel the need to go every time she has a sore muscle or headache now.

Covid has been one mass appeasement of her fears for me and my daughter.
