Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

Come to think of it, during my business trip to Thailand, I had a scheduled appointment at the hospital. Since it was only to get my medicine prescribed, I could have the appointment online. The appointment was at 8:30 in the morning, which is 6:30 Thai time. That was the time I always go walking at the hotel gym. I walked at the gym as usual while I waited for my appointment time. When the appointment time came, I paused my walking and connected with my doctor in Japan on my smartphone. The appointment went smoothly, and when I got back to Japan, the prescription had properly arrived in my mailbox at home. Being able to see your regular doctor wherever you are in the world - it's become really convenient, hasn't it?
