In August, the family visited the hospital twice. The total cost was 4,290 yen.
8月は家族で2回ほど病院にかかりました。合計でかかった金額は4,290円です。
1st time:
My second son fell and hulled his nail, so we went to a dermatologist located 5 minutes away by bicycle.
There were already 8-9 people waiting in the waiting room, so I was prepared for it to take a while, but the whole process took about an hour.
I was given a prescription for an ointment to prevent germs and a bandage.
Children were free of charge (depending on the area) as they were not eligible for medical care until junior high school.
１回目：
次男が転んで爪が剝がれてしまったため、自転車で5分ほどの場所にある皮膚科へ行きました。
既に8～9人待合室で待っている人がいたので、時間かかるかなあ～と覚悟しましたが、全部で1時間程度で終了。
ばい菌を防ぐ塗り薬を処方してもらい、包帯を巻いてもらいました。
子供は中学生までは医療費がかからないので、料金は無料（地域にもよります）です。
2nd time:
I went to see a local ophthalmologist due to my eye condition（Mosquitosis and Dry Eye）
I went at the halfway point, so it was very crowded and took a long time – (4.5 hours in total!).
But they did various tests (vision test, fundus camera, and a visual field test because they suspected glaucoma),
As a result, the doctor told me it wouldn’t be glaucoma. The doctor explained everything to me and was very helpful.
The doctor also told me that the mosquitosis was physiological and did not require any treatment, so I received six bottles of eye drops for dry eyes and went home.
The total cost was 4,290 yen（＝29.3$、Todays Rate）.The co-payment is 30% due to the health insurance system.
I have always been very nearsighted and have bad eyesight, and I use a computer every day, so there is no way I can be kind to my eyes…. I wonder if I should eventually switch to a job that is easier on the eyes.
2回目：
私が最近眼の飛蚊症やドライアイがあるため近所の眼科を受診。
中途半端な時間に行ったのですごく混んでいて、時間がかかりました～・・・（合計4時間半！）
でも色々検査（視力検査、眼底カメラ、緑内障の疑いとのことで視野検査も）をしてもらい、
結果としては緑内障は大丈夫そうとのこと。先生も色々説明してくれて良い病院でした。
飛蚊症も生理的なもので治療の必要はないとのことで、ドライアイの目薬を6本もらい帰宅。
料金は合計4,290円でした。健康保険制度のため、自己負担は3割です。
もともと強度近視で眼も悪い上に、毎日パソコンを使っているので眼に優しいわけはないんですよね・・・。もっと目に優しい仕事も考えたいと思います。
