Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

In a hospital that only serves high-end clients.

Chitanda Mirai, sitting in a wheelchair, is being pushed by Urahara Junko to the attending physician's room.

Among the people walking nearby was Hojo Kirisa.

Chitanda Mirai looked up at Hojo Kirisa and said helplessly:

“Mist Veil, you didn’t actually need to come with me.”

"Junko and I can come."

Hojo Kirisa glanced at her and said coldly:

“I remember you promised your mother you would go to the doctor, but you ran away halfway through.”

"I wouldn't have come at any other time."

"But today is different. If we don't see this doctor now, we might have to fly to the United States in person to see him in the future."

Chitanda Mirai covered her mouth and smiled:

"It's fine."

"I will not run away this time."

"Besides, I remember you had other things to do, Kirisa."

Is it really a good idea not to deal with this now?

Hojo Kirisa's cold expression remained completely unchanged:

"It doesn't matter."

"They're all just harmless things."

at this time.

The three of them arrived in front of the attending physician's room.

Junko Urahara gently knocked on the door.

"come in."

Upon hearing the sound, Junko Urahara slowly pushed Mirai Chitanda into the room.

Hojo Kirisa followed closely behind.

After entering, Chitanda Mirai saw her attending physician, Suzuki Ryoko, and a blonde foreign female doctor standing to the side.

The blonde female doctor was wearing a white coat and glasses. She looked rather old, probably in her forties or fifties.

The two were looking at the information on the screen, seemingly discussing something.

When the two noticed someone coming in, they both looked up.

When Dr. Suzuki saw that Chitanda Mirai had finally arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly introduced her to Dr. Alice.

The two were communicating in English.

Chitanda Mirai and Hojo Kirisa are both academic high-achievers, so they can naturally understand English and communicate without any problems.

Dr. Suzuki introduced Chitanda Mirai as follows:

"This is Dr. Ellie."

"He is a very famous doctor in the field of internal medicine in the United States."

"I assume you already knew this before you came, so I won't go into too much detail."

Chitanda Mirai greeted him very politely:

"Hello, Dr. Ellie."

Ellie nodded, knowing that Chitanda Mirai spoke English, and then communicated directly in English:

"Chitanda Mirai, right? I've seen your physical data and symptoms."

"But with current medical technology, it is not possible to accurately diagnose your condition."

"I can only say that your illness is very strange and is a rare case in history."

“At first I thought your condition was a congenital immune deficiency, but it doesn’t seem to match in reality.”

"Your internal medicine problem isn't actually that serious, but we just can't find the cause."

"If we want to confirm the situation, we still need to do a series of detailed analyses."

Dr. Suzuki nodded in agreement:

"Yes."

"Her condition includes occasional fever, dizziness, dry heaving, coughing, prolonged sleep, palpitations, and weakness."

“In severe cases, the above symptoms may occur for a week or one or two months in a row, at which point long-term hospitalization for observation is required.”

"In mild cases, the patient will only have a persistent cough and fever. In such cases, medication can alleviate the symptoms to some extent."

"The onset time is difficult to estimate and has a high degree of randomness."

"However, after a period of observation, it was found that if her emotions fluctuate too much, she is likely to develop the above symptoms."

"Although the condition is currently stable, various physical indicators are gradually declining."

Dr. Ellie looked at Chitanda Mirai and asked:

"What the doctor just said matches your situation, right?"

Chitanda Mirai nodded somewhat sadly and said:

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Ellie looked at the information and Chitanda Mirai's sickly pale and frail condition, which meant she could only use a wheelchair, and felt quite troubled.

Even just looking at these materials, she couldn't confirm what exactly caused it.

At most, we can only speculate, like everyone else, that it is caused by a congenital deficiency of the immune system.

However, upon inspection, it was found that they did not quite match.

No wonder so many doctors were at a loss about Chitanda's future illness, and could only prescribe medications to boost her immunity and treat the corresponding symptoms.

And what she found most strange was...

The onset time is also almost unpredictable.

Although the symptoms are always of the same few types, they are all different each time.

Moreover, it's unpredictable, which is really strange.

Chitanda Mirai listened to the two doctors' words with an extremely bitter expression.

She had actually heard these kinds of words many times before.

This time was no different.

No one can diagnose her illness at all.

Even this authoritative internal medicine doctor abroad can't find the cause, so it seems my illness will probably never be cured in my lifetime.

Moreover, after hearing what the doctor said, my health is deteriorating, and I don't know how many more years I have left to live.

really

I really shouldn't have come.

If you don't have expectations, you won't be disappointed.

Seeing Chitanda Mirai's utterly dejected expression, Hojo Kirisa understood why Mirai always disliked seeing the doctor.

After all, the result is always the same every time I come here.

Anyone would feel there was no need to come.

It seems that the doctor that Chitanda's future parents and I found this time is also unable to cure her.

Although Dr. Ellie said she had received the money, she was still very interested because Chitanda Mirai's situation was so rare.

She tapped the documents in her hand lightly, looked at Chitanda Mirai, and said:

“I remember it’s been quite a while since your last checkup.”

"Let's do another check now."

Chitanda Mirai shook her head somewhat dejectedly:

"Feel sorry."

"I don't really want to have a check-up today."

"I wanted to go home after getting the shot."

Dr. Suzuki was also somewhat troubled upon hearing this.

She had seen this situation many times before.

Chitanda Mirai, sometimes she comes over, but it's just to get medicine and routine injections; she really doesn't like checkups.

Unless her parents are with her, Chitanda is usually unwilling to cooperate with examinations most of the time.

Dr. Suzuki walked beside her and gently comforted her:

"The future is a rare opportunity."

"Let's get a check-up done first."

"Maybe things will get better."

Chitanda Mirai looked very sad and shook her head.

Dr. Ellie had seen many patients before, and she could tell that Chitanda Mirai was in low spirits and unwilling to have a physical examination.

In situations like this, she rarely offers advice.

Ultimately, the patient has the final say in making their own decisions.

Moreover, medical expenses in the United States are indeed a heavy burden for patients.

Therefore, she basically doesn't try to persuade patients.
