SPIRIT's Diary

In my three-ways interview in yesterday, I heard that the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law revised on May 14th 2025 from my president. It seems Japanese lawmakers is struggling to make citizens learn emotions of self-care. In Japanese case, medical care is national health insurance and patients' burden is about 10-30%. It's convenient to patients, but it needs much medical expenses, particularly drug costs. And presence of pharmacists is a far weaker than physicians. So, to reduce drug costs, Japanese lawmakers is struggling to make citizens learn emotion of Self-Medications and Self-care. I receive medications of Anti-allergy Anti-atopic disease(steroids) Antihypertensives Alcohol Deterrent and so on. But I had thought it's OK of OTC, not prescription drugs about anti-allergic and anti-atopic drugs. So, yesterday, I bought OTC of anti-allergic and anti-atopic drugs. But, only anti-allergic drugs and anti-atopic ointment for 28 days, it needs over 5,000 yens. Under insurance, pre...

Tomorrow will be the three-way interview. But, I couldn't accomplish my goal that I reduce my BMI less than 30.0. Without becoming inflammable and mad, I'm continuing to deal with my task calmly. But I'm a bit frustrated because my suggestion that we should put down English in our pharmacies more doesn't adopt. In fact, it's OK for me to only continue to work calmly. My president said the operating profit of our company has increased more than she expected for 2 years. Therefore, my bonus payroll in this year was more than last years. But until when will it continue? Amazon Pharmacy has advanced in Japan and is there the possibility that prescriptions in our pharmacies will be devoured to Amazon? Someone said we should be careful for the service after customers come in more than the service before they come in. But I'm not good to care meticulous service after customers enter. More customers before entering our pharmacies should increase by ourselves. By the way...

In three-way meeting of previous day, I recommended, "We should increase putting down English in our pharmacy for inbound tourists, shouldn't we?" But my president rejected, "If we do so, the amount of information will be too much, and patients will be confused. " I was very disappointed. In my favorite pharmacy, I recommended same recommendation a bit, but the pharmacy hasn't act yet. I'm also very disappointed to it. Do these mean that hospitals and pharmacies in Japan are closed-society and conservative? Inbounds tourists has increased in Japan, and some medications such as "Netsusama-Seat(熱さまシート)/Be KOOOL" have been introduced as "Shin-Yaku（神薬）/the god medications" in China. However, if just waiting, foreign customers will never increase. And our pharmacy is very small, it's not affordable to buy prescription robots. Anyway, I want to make foreign customers increase. For it, we have to compromise to foreigners by increasing En...
