Reason I Came To This School

There are three main reasons why I came to this school, a good location and climate, good teachers, and my field of study.
The first reason is the climate and locations are good. My hometown is cold because a wind is strong in winter. But Numazu is warmer than my hometown. The facilities for travel are not good however, there is a lot of nature, so the location is good.
Another reason is there are good teachers. Some teachers are working in medical scenes. Therefore, I came because I thought that they could teach me various things about real medical care.
The third reason is I can learn the study that I want to study in this school. There are few schools which I can get the eligibility requirements for the national examination to become a clinical engineer. I entered this school to learn the field of study that I want to learn.
In conclusion, it was combination of factor such as a good location and climate, good teachers, and my field of study making that I chose this school. I am glad that I chose it.

Recall of AED

Nihon Kohden announced a recall of all AED units on November 20, 2009. AED is the abbreviation of Automated External Defibrillator, and it returns the heartbeat back to normal from ventricular fibrillation by defibrillation. Citizenry was able to use it from April, 2007. About 250000 AEDs were put in hospitals, ambulances, schools, public facilities, and so on, and Nihon Kohden represents about 50 percent of shares. The reason for the voluntary recall is a woman died because of trouble with an AED in April. In recent years, the number of such medical accidents creased due to medical machines. In my opinion, makers and engineers should check equipment more regularly for accidents not to happen. First, periodic inspections can prevent an accident discovering malfunctions early and service. Next when the malfunction is discovered measures can be taken for a malfunction not to happen again. Therefore, I think that service is important.
