Life in Fukui

It is the best to live without sickness and/or injuries but sometimes we get sick or injured and must visit and/or stay at the hospital.

Fukui Prefectural Hospital which everyone in Fukui knows is in the center of Fukui City and it is twelve-storied building. Above the 6th floor, there are patient rooms and patients can see the beautiful views of Fukui City from their rooms. It is breathtaking, especially at night so I’m sure it helps the patients and their family and friends can feel a little better as well.

 

Fukui Prefectural Hospital was opened in April of 1950. There used to be 9 clinical departments and now there are 28 clinical departments.

When I stayed at Fukui Prefectural Hospital, they had the nurse call bell ringing non-stop all day long. Although they were so busy, doctors, nurses, cleaners and other staff were kind, caring and nice. I was well taken care of from the first day till the day I was released from the hospital.

 

A friend of mine from Australia said that Fukui Prefectural Hospital is almost like a descent hotel or even better because of those great staff, facilities and great views from the windows.

 

At the rehabilitation, they had many patients coming in nonstop. There were several times that one physical therapist had to take 2 or more patients at once. It was amazing for me to see all of the physical therapists were taking care of us calmly with smile which cheered me up so much.
