Wasurenagusa No Saku Machi De Azumi No Shinryo Ki (Kadokawa Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Mikoto is a nurse in her third year at Azusa River Hospital on the outskirts of Matsumoto City. Every day she is troubled but moves forward through her relationship with Katsura, an eccentric resident physician, and with patients in a way that is unique to community health care. The advent of "gastrostomy," which changed the conventional wisdom that a patient's life expectancy ends when he or she can no longer eat by mouth, and the patient's family, who wants "everything that can be done to be done"... What is geriatric care, and what is the difference between living and being dead? The realities of medical care for the elderly as portrayed by a working doctor, who earnestly confronts these questions, will surely bring tears to your eyes!
