"I want to help people." With that in mind, I entered the medical world. My interest in medicine began when my grandfather was hospitalized in high school. My mother's words, "Contributing to the advancement of medical care in a society with a declining birthrate, wouldn't it be good?" also encouraged me. After working in pediatrics and emergency medicine, I now spend my days supporting outpatients. It's rewarding to hear patients say things like, "I feel at ease when I see you," or "Can I talk to you for a moment?" It also gives me joy, knowing I'm helping them. Meanwhile, one of my essential daily routines at home is telling my kids, "Thank you for another day. I love you," before they go to bed. I sometimes get home late and have to settle for a pre-made dinner, which makes me feel guilty, but rather than saying, "I'm sorry," I try to express my gratitude by saying, "Thank you for helping someone today! Thank you!" Of course, on my days off, I'm at the mercy of my kids.
A word from a fellow staff member!
She hates crookedness and doesn't leave things vague. She is a person who embodies honesty and sincerity. She is always cheerful and smiling, but she also sheds tears for others. Our children get along well, and we have a friendly relationship as a family.
