Currently, in Japan, medical care is becoming more specialized and sophisticated, and great results have been achieved in diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, with the progress of super-aging society, the number of patients who suffer from multiple diseases at the same time, problems with multiple organs, or intertwined psychosocial problems is increasing. Even when I tried to solve it, it often didn't work. In addition, it has become difficult to deal with patients who are not feeling well, but do not know the cause, or who have common symptoms with a medical treatment system that consists only of specialized departments. . In such cases, it is important to understand the patient's problem comprehensively and consider the order and balance of diagnosis and treatment. At our hospital, the "General Medicine Department" was established with the aim of further improving the quality of medical care through the cooperation of specialized medical care and general medical care. , provides outpatient and inpatient care.

General Medicine strives to provide comprehensive and optimal medical care that meets the needs of patients, in cooperation with specialized clinical departments and all medical staff, without being bound by the frame of each organ. I'm here.

From common diseases to severe diseases

We do not limit the disease, organ, or area to be treated, and provide the following medical treatment mainly for internal diseases.

We treat both outpatients and inpatients. I also handle severe cases.

  1. in general practice
    • Treatment of patients with multiple organ diseases and multiple chief complaints
    • We treat patients who cannot focus on specific organs, such as fever, edema, anorexia, and general malaise.
  2. We have extensive experience with infectious diseases, including rare and highly specialized diseases.
  3. We also focus on the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and connective tissue diseases.
  4. We provide medical care while paying attention to psychological and social problems, and work closely with other departments.
  5. If medical treatment at a specialized clinical department is required, appropriate referrals and cooperation are made.
  6. We also focus on educating medical students and trainees who will lead the next generation.

Since there are many patients with complicated medical conditions who have not yet been diagnosed, the consultation time for each patient is long, which may cause inconvenience during the waiting time at the outpatient clinic.
If you are visiting our department for the first time, it would be helpful if you could bring a letter of referral from your primary care doctor or another hospital doctor, your medicine notebook, and previous test results.
