Yamagata Saisei Hospital in Yamagata City was visited last year to inspect non-doctors with skin sutures. It was learned through interviews with those involved that he had been tested.

The hospital has punished those involved and instructed its staff to carry out their duties within an appropriate scope, and has also explained that there was no physical impact on the patient. The public health center conducts on-site inspections to determine whether there are any problems with the medical safety management system.
