Prescription of Epicurus Natsukawa Sosuke
Well, "Spinoza's Examination Room" that I covered the other day. I finally read the sequel "Prescription of Epicurus." It was the evening of 12 / 28 that I received an email from the library saying "loan is ready." It will be closed from the next day, and the beginning of the year will be 1 / 4. The reservation deadline is 1 / 4 (Sun).... Isn't it a little strict!! I went to 1 / 4 though!!
(Official introduction quote)
"Medical care cannot save people."
Active doctors draw about human life and happiness.
"To come this far,
How many patients have you killed?
Omachi Tetsuro, a physician working at a local hospital for his nephew who lost his mother and became alone, has succeeded in many difficult surgeries at a university hospital. One day, a difficult case was brought in from Hanagaki, an associate professor of the university who fell in love with Tetsuro's ability. The patient is an 82-year-old old man. It was the father of Professor Torahiko Hiraizumi, the absolute authority of the university hospital that Tetsuro once infuriated.
The essence of pleasure that Epicurus claims is above all mental stability. So if you meet someone who claims to be a hedonist, be very careful. Whether you are looking for peace of mind or just looking for pleasure, this is completely different.

This time it was a work that I was hooked on, and after reading it, I was sorry to return it to the library, so it was a good work that I reread my favorite part.Medical care is like a philosophical book that thinks that people are, the exhilaration of the moment when a complicated relationship is unraveled, even a small hateful (rude) character becomes fond of it, such attractions are prepared, and the author who can casually insert human charm thought that it was because he had faced many patients. It's fun to choose which actor to cast the characters and I can't stop. Please read it before making it into a movie.
『エピクロスの処方箋』を読み進める中で、医療現場での葛藤や命の重さだけでなく、人間関係の機微にも触れられていることに強く心を動かされました。私自身、医療ドラマや医師を主人公にした作品は多く読みますが、この本の魅力は哲学的要素が織り交ぜられている点にあります。特に、エピクロスの快楽主義の解釈が「精神の安定」に重きを置いているという視点は、現代社会のストレスや不安を抱える私たちにとっても学びが多いものでした。 加えて、主人公の雄町哲郎という内科医の人物像が非常にリアルで、仕事や家族、患者との複雑な関係が丁寧に描かれていることで、単なる医療小説以上の深みを感じさせます。図書館での貸し出しの締切に追われながらも再読したくなるほど、細部まで気遣いを感じる文章です。 また、作品内で語られる「人が自分の権利ばかり主張するのは、自分一人で生きていけると思っているから」という言葉には、現代の人間関係にも通じる普遍的な真理を感じました。誰かの力になりたいという気持ちは生きることの哀しみも含めて、共感や連帯感を育むと実感しています。 映像化の話題もあり、どの俳優がキャストに選ばれるのか想像するのも楽しみです。小説と映像で表現される世界観を比較できるのは読書ファンとしての醍醐味ですね。この作品は単なる読み物としてだけでなく、医療や哲学、そして人間関係について考えるきっかけを与えてくれる作品なので、ぜひ多くの方に手に取ってほしいと感じまし た。
