And he did not live up to his parents' expectations and was admitted to a top high school.
Many of the students who graduate from this school have been admitted to well-known national and public universities and medical faculties.
One day, DrNanato was on her way to school on the train when she saw someone suddenly faint.
There happened to be a doctor who was present and stepped forward in time to provide rescue.
Such a scene deeply touched DrThe mind of Nanato.

Originally, DrNanato's academic performance is relatively average in school
But after he decided to become a doctor, he studied more than 10 hours a day, and by the time he was in the third year of high school, his grades were already ranked within the top 30 in his year.
The hard work paid off, and he was eventually admitted to the medical department of a private university.
The moment the title of the gold list, drNanato couldn't be happier.
But after entering the school, he was gradually shrouded in an inferiority complex.
"Most of the students who study in the medical faculties of private universities come from wealthy families.
They don't have to work part-time, or just to experience society.
However, my family was not that wealthy.
I need to study part-time and pay off my student loans. ”

Seeing the University of Tokyo as a cowherd, he also went to a nightclub to work part-time to make money and repay the loan
dr.Nanato has a friend who is studying at the University of Tokyo.
This schoolboy friend usually works part-time as a cowherd in a nightclub in Kabukicho, and learned about DrAfter Nanato's situation, he also persuaded him to try: "You must be suitable to be a cowherd." ”
dr.Nanato said: "I see a friend who is a school bully as a cowherd, and to analyze the customer pick-up strategy or something, you need to think about it.
I also like to use my brain, so maybe I would be suitable for this, so I went to the store with my friends.
It is very difficult and hard to use the salary earned from ordinary part-time jobs to pay off the student loan of the medical department.
And the high hourly wage in the nightclub is also one of the reasons why I started working part-time as a cowherd. ”

On weekdays, DrNanato attends classes at the university from morning to evening before working part-time as a cowherd.
Every week, he would go to a nightclub in Kabukicho to work 4 to 5 days.
In order to attract more customers, DrWhen Nanato was studying at school, she would use her free time to chat with customers online and get closer to each other.
As his business grew and his income increased, he felt that he was doing a good job and began to wonder if he was not suitable to be a doctor.
After becoming a cowherd, it was the first time I met so many people and learned about the world beyond learning.
You can see all kinds of characters in Kabukicho. No one here cares about test scores or academic qualifications.
It's a place where I can make a statement, which is an eye-opener for me and very comfortable with the job. ”

Despite this, it was not easy for me to be admitted to the Faculty of Medicine. ”
At that time drNanato still maintained restraint and studied hard while working part-time as a cowherd, and successfully passed the Japanese National Medical Doctor Examination.
So, he quit his job as a cowherd and became an intern.

Half a year after becoming an intern, he couldn't stand it: it's better to be a cowherd! 】
dr.After only two months as an intern, Nanato began to consider quitting.
As a doctor, you have to work about 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, and you have to attend the boss's meetings, which is not only a heavy and arduous job, but also a person who cannot express his personality, and lives under pressure every day. ”
The hospital said that in order not to make patients feel uneasy, it is not necessary for doctors to have a personality. This is simply the opposite of the working environment of the cowherd, and I can't adapt to it. ”
Half a year after becoming an intern, DrNanato felt like she had reached her limit and couldn't continue.
He had a showdown with his parents, and he was going to quit his job as a doctor and concentrate on being a cowherd.
Sure enough, this decision was strongly opposed by the parents.
dr.After much persuasion by Nanato, my father finally reluctantly accepted the reality.
And the mother, who attaches more importance to education than her father, has so far been unable to identify with her son to be a cowherd.

In 2023, DrNanato officially quit her job as a doctor and returned to Kabukicho as a cowherd.
As a "former doctor" on social platforms, he advertised for the work of the Cowherd, which was criticized by many netizens.
"Some people say that I 'became garbage in society' and 'gave up a decent career to go to a low-level job'. However, I can also understand the emotions of netizens. ”
When I was studying medicine in the past, I was just as excited when I saw some of my classmates choosing to drop out and give up their careers as doctors, "Why should I run away from the medical department when I worked so hard to get into the medical department?" ”
But nowadays, it seems that becoming a doctor is not the whole of life. There can be many choices in life, and some people graduate from the medical department to become doctors, and some people may not follow this path. ”
I experienced low self-esteem when I worked part-time at a private university medical school and the hardships of my time as an intern, so I am able to accept those criticisms calmly now. ”

dr.Nanato thinks that she can study hard to become a doctor, but now she can also work hard to become the number one in the store.
He used his status as a "former doctor" to promote, and his Twitter followers increased by more than 2,000 in four months, and his monthly performance exceeded 13 million yen (about 630,000 yuan).
Although there is still pressure, I still feel much more relaxed than when I was in the hospital.

Some people lament the lack of doctors in Japan, and begin to reflect on the fact that the shortage of doctors in Japan may not be due to the lack of people who want to become doctors and have the ability to become doctors, but because of the labor intensity and treatment of doctors, and the high tuition fees of medical students.
