The Electric Document System

The Electric Document System
2007.04.02 3:19

Medical doctors keep a document for their patients pathology in documents. 22 years ago in 1985, one-third of all doctors use English and the rest of two-thirds use German that directly resulted from the fact that the first medical education was held in German in Japan's all medical schools. By the year 1977, 10 years ago, I understood all medical documents had been written in English. Till that time all medical doctors were educated in English/American medicine.
What I wondered for the first time in 10 years when I went to hospital was they use electric medical documents in Japanese language. Japanese language can be written in computers of course much easier than handwriting so it might be unnecessary for the Japanese doctors to use other language that is unfamilar to themselves, but I feel it questionable with a view to universality in academics.
