elderly Japanese couple need the medical assistance

On December 18, 2023, a very elderly Japanese couple planned to travel to Tainan. Due to his wife's advanced dementia and her severely limited physical condition, including swallowing ability and dependence on assistance for eating and activities, her husband wanted to ensure that emergency medical treatment could be provided in the event of a medical emergency during their trip. He specifically inquired with our hospital about potential concerns and the assistance available. After the head of the public relations office provided a detailed explanation, our hospital received a letter of thanks.

Dear Ms. Tseng, Thank your very much for your warm-hearted response. I feel so reassured to find some one like you who understands the potentially very difficult situation my wife is in, and is ready to come to her rescue if something happens to me. The hotel has informed me that you have already got in touch with them. They are well impressed by your earnestness. As you suggest, I will bring with me a copy of a patient referral document from my wife's doctor. I will also update and make available to you a paper I drafted about a year ago describing my wife's nursing and care. It should be ready shortly before we arrive in Tainan. Thank you once again for your kind consideration. K******* KAI
