The 96th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Omusubi " (General TV, Monday to Saturday at 8:00 am and others), starring Kanna Hashimoto, was broadcast on February 17th, and the words of Tsukamoto (Mari Hamada), the head of the nutrition department and Yui's (Hashimoto) boss, became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 95th episode (broadcast on February 14th), Yaeko (Tokuda Naomi), a diabetic patient who was the subject of the NST (nutritional support team), is rushed to the hospital a few days after being discharged. A tumor was found in her pancreas and she underwent emergency surgery, saving her life, but Yui was warned by Kamata (Nakamura Anne), the surgeon in charge of the operation, "Didn't you notice anything when you were on a diet?"
In episode 96, Yui is overcome with guilt after Yaeko's husband tells her that he doesn't want her to be in charge of his wife, and asks Tsukamoto if he should stop being in charge of Yaeko. Tsukamoto immediately replies, "No," and says that Yaeko herself wants to be in charge of Yui, so there's no need to replace her.
When Yui said, "What happened this time made me realize that I lack both experience and knowledge," Tsukamoto encouraged her, saying, "If you don't have experience, then get some. If you don't have enough knowledge, then learn. But what's even more important is to never get used to this job. Even with the same illness, different patients can have different symptoms, and the treatment will also change. "Just because it was like this last time, it will be like this this time" doesn't work. We work to face lives. As long as you never forget the feelings you had this time, you'll be fine. I'll support you, so try your best a little harder."
On social media, people responded to Tsukamoto's words with comments such as, "This is a great quote," "It really resonated with me," "Tsukamoto's words are something I want to keep in mind no matter what job I do," and "He really is the best boss!"
