PSPINC CEO Kenichi Uchikura's Blog

On Monday morning, just before breakfast, I received a call from the hospital. They told me that bacteria had been detected in one of the blood samples they had taken earlier, and asked me to come back to the hospital. I had just been discharged the day before yesterday, so I couldn’t help but feel frustrated—but after breakfast, I headed to the ER a little after 10 a.m.

 

At the ER, they prepared an IV, led me to a room, and ran several tests, including another blood test. Hours passed. Eventually, a doctor came in and explained that the bacteria likely came from contamination during the sampling process, not from an actual infection in my body. Based on that assessment, I was allowed to go home.

 

Still, by the time I returned home, it was already 3 p.m. It felt like the whole day had been taken over by this hospital visit.

 

That said, I’m genuinely grateful that the hospital is keeping such a close eye on my health and responding quickly to any concerns. It’s reassuring to know I’m in good hands.
