Book Reviews of Japan Health Handbook
Book Review: Essential reading for expats in Japan
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish I'd read this book before my experiences with Japanese hospitals in the late eighties (the book was published in 1995). The front page contains emergency information and the Japanese vocabulary necessary for calling an ambulance. The rest of the book covers all aspects of health care, what to expect in Japanese hospitals and within the health care system, drugs and nutrition in Japan, exercise resources, and health-related lifestyle tips. There's even a chapter on dealing with death and dying in Japan. Extremely useful, with extensive listings of resources. This should be on the bookshelf of every expat living in Japan.
