Comments from Nishitsu readers for “Kumano Hospital”
I myself had swollen tonsils about three times every year and was taken care of here. Also, during the earthquake, my father couldn’t move, and they lent us a bed as we endured the pitch darkness… They also looked after my mother’s body… I never imagined the hospital would close. Thank you so very much.

I was taken care of here for complete medical checkups and other things in my 30s. Dr. Shizuka and everyone else were so kind. Thank you very much.
Yoshi
My grandmother was taken care of here.

My mother was hospitalized and discharged many times over the years for asthma, and they took care of her. It makes me very sad that the hospital is closing.

I often met up with friends here to play Mahjong Fight Club. That was already 15 years ago. It’s sad to see a nostalgic place disappear.

My wife worked there. Apparently, the building did not meet earthquake-resistance standards, and they considered rebuilding or seismic retrofitting, but since there was no successor, they decided to close the hospital.

Thank you for all your hard work.
Murasaki
Thank you truly, truly so much for everything. Thank you, Dr. Eiji m(_ _)m Tsu

They also examined my child when their shoulder wouldn’t move and they were in pain. The doctor moved my child’s arm and fixed it in an instant. I loved that gentle, easygoing doctor. I’m truly grateful.

If anyone else has memories, we’ll add them too, so we’ll be waiting to hear from you.
Finally
For 66 years, the hospital stood close to the community, and so many people have memories of receiving all kinds of treatment there. For those who were taken care of until they got better, I’m sure this feels truly lonely. Thank you so very much for all these years✨
