Caring for Patients Like Family
On this episode, we meet Nguyen Quoc Dam, a nurse in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture. Nine years ago, Dam took advantage of an economic partnership between his native Vietnam and Japan and was the first Vietnamese to become a certified nurse in his country of adoption. Along with taking care of patients' health, Dam puts effort into helping them cope with the loneliness that comes with hospitalization. We also follow Australian William Rhodes in his work as a garbage collector in Musashino, Tokyo.
