Area of Interest

I investigate how citizens and medical professionals make consensus. I am especially interested in the role of media in the consensus building.

Recent Thoughts

What should I do to reform the Japanese medical system? Most important is to make continuous communication among patients, their families, healthy majorities and medical professionals.
