New Entries/Amendments for 2005-Dec-23.html

======= Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2005 08:16:01 +1100 (EST)
(subtype)	amend
(headw1)	歯科医院
(kana1)	しかいいん
(pos1)	n
(english1)	dental clinic
(reference)	The following sentence is from the website http://www.shikaiin.com/ : 歯科医院に通院する事が難しい心障者、在宅寝たきり高齢者、特殊な歯科診療を必要とされる方には、往診・訪問・休日・口腔外科等の歯科診療を行っている歯科医院(歯医者さん）・病院をご案内。 Since 通院する means to go to a hospital or clinic as an outpatient, 歯科医院 is unmistakably a clinic.
(comment)	The current entry gives "dental surgery" as the English meaning, but dental surgery is 歯科外科 (しか げか) and 歯科医院 is dental clinic or dentist's office.
cheers
