Osaka Medical Center, Patients' Consultation Room

Synopsis

You never know when you might suffer a serious injury or illness. At the Osaka Medical Center, a large hospital in the Kansai region, there is a place that offers help to patients who are at a loss after a sudden surgery or hospitalization: the “Medical Consultation Office” staffed by three young doctors. The consultation services offered are diverse. They offer a wide range of advice, from concerns about treatment and payment to family problems and how to make ends meet after discharge from the hospital. The film follows the patients and their families closely for three days, depicting how they try to live their lives one step at a time, despite their confusion about life in the hospital.
