The 41st episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on May 25th, and viewers were drawn to the words of Burns (Emma Howard).
The day before Chikako's (Yukie Nakama) surgery, Rin (Ai Ai Mikami) decided to spend the night in her hospital room to comfort Chikako, who was anxious about having a scalpel used on her body. The surgery was successful, and when Chikako woke up from the anesthesia, she thanked Rin, saying, "Thank you. Because you were by my side, I... wasn't lonely."
Later, as Rin and the others were having a meal in the dormitory, Burns came in. Burns revealed that the hospital director had thanked him for Chikako's surgery being successful, and he praised Rin, saying, "I feel so relieved! You did a great job."
She then prefaced her remarks by saying, "I don't deny that Rin stayed with the patient all night, played games with them, and did everything she could," before adding, "However, please don't forget. Nursing is a job. It's not a service."
Burns's words elicited comments on social media such as, "His words were harsh but compassionate and touched my heart," "I was struck by what Mr. Burns said," "That's so true," "It's a difficult problem," "He pointed out what is both Rin's strength and weakness," "It's hard to draw the line, but we have to be aware of that," and "This line applies to all work."
