In Japan, doctors not only treat patients and perform operations, but also act as medical teachers for patients. This is because the Japanese attach great importance to the trust between doctors and patients. Many Japanese hospitals will arrange a "medical class" for patients and their families to dispel their preoperative concerns.

Japanese doctors often say: "It is the first step to let patients know the condition." Public hospitals in Okayama City broadcast videos of similar operations for patients to increase their understanding of the disease. In an interview with the reporter of Life Times, I learned that the video played by neurosurgeons in this hospital for patients who are about to undergo surgery not only includes the internal structure of the brain and the process of doctors removing diseased parts, but also is accompanied by light background music. The video also shows the contrast effect of patients before and after operation. Kengo Matsumoto, the hospital's president and neurosurgeon, said in an interview that many patients can safely undergo surgery after watching the video.

Since last year, Anyunye Red Cross Hospital in Nagano Prefecture has started to give lectures to patients who are about to undergo surgery with tablet computers. The doctor will first show the patient a pre-recorded "teaching" video to let the patient know about the condition, treatment methods and surgical risks, and then answer the patient's questions. This not only lightens the doctor's burden, but also lets the patient know more about the operation details.

There are also many Japanese hospitals and TV stations that cooperate to broadcast the whole process of some operations as programs on TV, and invite relevant medical experts to explain the details of the operation simultaneously in the live broadcast room. During the explanation, the TV station will invite some people to the live broadcast room, and many people will also have the opportunity to do suture surgery with simulated materials under the guidance of experts in the simulated operating room built by the TV station. After watching the program, many people said that it is really not easy for doctors to realize that surgery requires high technology. Such TV programs have enhanced mutual understanding between doctors and patients and are welcomed by the public.

It is reported that almost all patients in Japan will arrange "medical classes" for them before surgery. Moreover, the surgeon will personally greet the patient at the door of the operating room, personally send the patient out of the operating room, and wait for the patient to wake up with his family, so as to really make the patient feel at home. It is precisely because of the harmonious doctor-patient relationship that there are few contradictions between doctors and patients in Japan.
