OC Questionnaire series
Nurse Takumi Hara – 50 questions.
1. What is your full name and its origins? What about any nicknames?
Uh…okay…my full name is Takumi Hara. The first part is written with the character for ‘artisan’ or more specifically ‘to be shaped by hand’. The other one…translates to abdomen…more specifically ‘belly’…and I guess that shows…
Nicknames…’porkchop’ was the very first thing I was called at school…hah…hah…
2. Have you any claims to fame?
Ooh…um…famous? Me? Well, I’m certainly not anything special really…I’ve never done anything noteworthy, come to think of it…I’ll just be over here eating some ice-cream…I only have that on bad days…
3. How would you introduce yourself? How would you introduce yourself to someone who had never heard of you?
H-hi there! I’m Takumi and I’ll be your nurse today. I’ll just be taking your blood pressure first…oh but I may first need to ask you to move your bed-side table out of the way…it keeps biting into my belly when I slide past…and now it’s touching your arm…I do apologize…but at least your blood pressure seems to be improving! In fact, it might be a tad bit high…I don’t know why this keeps happening when I’m doing ward rounds…
4. How old are you?
Ah..I’m 29 at present. I’m turning 30 this year. It sounds rather old doesn’t it? I still can’t believe Dr Endo is younger than me…
5. Which of your culture's achievements do you hold in highest regard?
I’m very proud of the medical advances which we have made as a race and what we have accomplished in the fields of the healing arts! I particularly do like the medical journals…I do a lot of reading while I wait for the microwave…
6. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was young, I wanted to be a singer, actually. My parents said there wasn’t any real money in that though so they put me through a different school instead. I still kind of wonder what it would have been like if I had gone down that pathway, even if getting on stage in front of all those people would be super scary.
7. What was your most prized possession as a child? Do you still have it?
I have a little stuffed crocodile plush that was given to me by my dad. I still have him on the side of my bed to help me ward away scary and negative feelings. Maybe I should start bringing him to work more often…
8. What would you change about yourself, if you could?
If you’d asked me that about a year ago, I’d probably have told you ‘everything’. However, these days I’m no longer so sure. There’s parts of myself that I like but I guess my weight is still something I’ve never been fully comfortable with. Please don’t tell Dr Endo though; she tends to prefer that the number changes only ever go up.
9. What is your favourite color?
I’m very partial to green, pinks and purples. They’re also my favourite sushi plates to pick up.
10. What are you obsessed with?
I work exceedingly hard to try and lose all the weight Dr Endo exposes me to. It’s not that I work out excessively or anything as eating normally simply returns me back to my usual size, but its more that every time I’m given a growth spurt, my appetite also grows to match my new proportions. It’s very hard to not want to eat ten meals a day when you are normally used to only five…
11. What is your greatest achievement so far, or the high point of your career?
Every day I don’t get fired from getting involved with one of Dr Endo’s antics is considered a win for me. I just want to keep a low profile and get paid like everyone else while helping people. It’s not the most ambitious of dreams, but it’s practically impossible for me these days.
12. When/where were you happiest?
I like to think any time I’m helping people and they appreciate me that I’m happy. I genuinely want to do more but I’m always afraid that I’ll mess up which stops me doing things that I want to do. It hurts sometimes thinking about that…oh…you said happy right? I’m sorry…
13. And the lowest point in your life thus far?
Well, there was the time my skirt got caught on a patient’s bedside and tore when I moved away…and the time that the vending machine ate my money and refused to dispense my favourite soda…that time the other nurses made me wear the surgical mask with the pig nose around the ward on Halloween just because my hay-fever made me sniffily…that other time that-
14. What was the best decision you ever made?
Purchasing that exercise machine that you strap to your belly which shakes away your fat. I wear it under my clothes all the time and it seems to help me stay focused on my job instead of worrying about my size so much.
15. If you have any body modifications, which was most painful, or which do you regret the most? If you haven't got any, do you have any planned, or would you ever consider getting any?
Y-you mean like Dr Endos? Well, as amazing as her arm can be, she has told me about all the problems it has brought it her too. I always thought it would be kind of cool to have special powers but honestly, I think I wouldn’t be very good at using them, or mess up more than I help people with them. I’m happy just watching others with them and supporting where I can.
16. What is the most idiotic thing you have ever done while intoxicated?
I don’t usually drink alcohol, but I was forced to once during the graduation party for nursing students. I think I tried to get up and sing something which I am thankful that I don’t remember. No one ever speaks about it to this day. It must have been pretty bad…
17. What is your favourite joke?
One day I stepped on the new electronic, robot scale in the breakroom office and I was surprised to see that I weighed 284 pounds.
“Why don’t you just take off the last four?” I half-heartedly joked to it as I stepped off.
A few moments later, it gave a little print out which fell to the floor which landed by Dr Endo’s foot as she entered. She picked it up.
“I see you’ve lost weight,” she said. “You’re down to 28 pounds.”
I wish it ended there. She said I was dangerously ‘underweight’ and needed emergency treatment. Needless to say, she found an excuse to get me back up to 300…
18. What is the coolest/most impressive thing you own?
I won an ice-cream serving machine at a shopping district raffle once. It sees a lot of use.
19. When did you last cry, and why?
I watched a really sad movie last night about a girl and her dog passing away in the snow together…I wish I could find someone to love as much as that…I should get a dog but my apartment doesn’t allow it….
20. What's the best piece of advice you've ever had?
Never leave anything uneaten on your plate. I honestly do think of the poor, starving children who would have benefitted from what we waste and take for granted. At least, I can stick to that promise well.
21. what's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?
As much as I gripe about Dr Endo constantly fattening me up, I am thankful for her sticking up for me that day we first met. No one has ever really done that for me so it’s something pretty special as far as I’m concerned.
22. Have you any vices?
I play a lot of mobile games during lunch time and I spend real money for premium items. I just can’t help it! I know they’re free to wait but when I see the numbers ticking down, it just gets me anxious. It’s not that I’m impatient, I just like seeing the end result before any chance of failure could occur. I guess I’m the same around the microwave since I do tend to open it frequently during cooking to rotate it just right.
23. Do you regret anything?
More than you can count. I’d rather not talk about them…if you don’t mind…
24. Favorite food?
Anything made out of potatoes. They’re incredibly versatile and can be cooked or stored anywhere.
25. Favorite drink?
I’m very fond of sakura-flavored sodas and Calpis.
26. What is the best invention ever?
Control top pantyhose. I would never fit into skirts without it.
27. What is the quality you most like in a man?
Um…someone who makes me feel strong and protected. I’m quite a bit bigger than most guys I know but even a big girl sometimes just wants to be held and kept safe…
28. What is the quality you most like in a woman?
Someone who supports me a bit…like a friend who can stick up for me since that’s something I’ve never really had…
29. Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
“I’m sorry…” “I won’t do it again.” “E-excuse me…”
30. Are you seeing/dating anyone?
No…I-I’ve never actually been on a date…or asked out…or really noticed…And that’s fine by me in a way! I wouldn’t know how to be a good girlfriend anyway…
31. Thinking about getting engaged, married, other?
It’s nice to think about but I don’t think anyone would want me like that and it’s not fair to burden people with my desires without giving something back. A good marriage means we both have to work hard and I don’t know if I can do that…
32. How would you describe your relationship with your family?
My parents did the best they could with me. We weren’t super wealthy but as an only child, I got all the support and attention I felt they could afford me when they weren’t working the multiple shifts they had to put me through school. Honestly, I am incredibly grateful for all those times.
33. Tell me, how were your parents like, do you think they were kind to you?
My father was a simple man from an agriculture background. My mother was a local shop keeper that he used to sell to. My parents didn’t have much but they are the best parents any girl could ever ask for. Respect for one another was the only golden rule around our household and as long as we had that, everything would be okay.
34. Is it merely personal goals or and desire to achieve your dream image that makes you dislike your weight instead of being possibly neutral with it?
To be honest, I’ve always been a bit of a larger girl than most of my peers. I’ve never experienced what it would like to be really thin for once that drives me in a way. I only really started growing in size after I started working. The extra weight isn’t all bad since it is for a good cause but sometimes Dr Endo goes way overboard and I wind up impractically large for a period of time. I’ve torn and busted more pieces of clothing than I care to count, not to mention the humiliation that comes with it. I suppose I would feel better about it if my weight stayed more neutral in the first place….
35. You have a surprisingly good reflexes all things considering, did you learn to gain these through your life, or is it natural talent?
Learning how to get something right is all based on a lot of practice and getting the thing wrong over and over again in the first place. I guess I’ve been so used to knocking into things and bumping things over that I’ve developed a slight degree of precognition when I feel myself instinctively reach out to grab the vase I just recently tapped with my butt on the way out. Being slightly paranoid at all times has its perks.
36. What was your past like? (You can summarize it shortly, of course).
In short, I grew up a bit sheltered and naïve out in the countryside. I had big dreams of moving to the city though when I wanted to be a singer but I only realized after getting into college that living alone was much harder and far scarier than I had originally thought it would be. Still, I like to think I did my best, even if I could have done better at some parts. I actually tried something else before I finally decided on doing nursing, but I don’t currently regret making the switch. Ironically, I can think of no better place but to go back to my home town and maybe work there as a school nurse or for a private country hospital.
37. What's the most you've ever weighed without Dr. Endo's help?
Oooh…I knew someone would ask something like this…um…I guess I’ve been over 300 pounds before and I tend to hover around there. I’m not entirely sure to be honest since if I go over 300, I try very hard not to weigh myself until I’m back under. I’m sorry if you find my answer disappointing…
38. Would you want to work in any other hospital?
I thought about transferring to one of the other university hospitals before but given my size and how employers tend to view me makes it very difficult to seek a job somewhere else. During my previous interviews the comment has always been something like “This is Takumi-chan. Don’t let your size fool you, she’s actually a nurse.” It was far too embarrassing to continue trying after getting that comment over and over again so I just sort of gave up.
39. Have you ever been too big for any of the hospital scrubs?
There was a time the hospital tried to bring in a ‘one size fits all’ policy. I’m the sole reason that we still don’t have that today. On the plus side, Dr Endo and I both have our own set of scrubs in the changing rooms. It’s a bit embarrassing, but at least that section is private since no one else fits into the ones we use…
40. What kind of music do you like?
I like a lot of instrumentals and pan flutes are my favourite instrument. New age makes me feel very calm and was recommended in this self-help book I got online.
41. Who are your favorite musicians?
I listen to a lot of western music since I understand English quite well. I like a lot of artists like Coldplay, The Fray, Lucy Rose and Alley Kerr.
42. Can you play an instrument?
I can play musical spoons. Also I used to make instruments out of my school supplies when I was growing up. I guess that’s why I’m mindful of most sort of beats, especially heart beat monitors…
43. You put with a lot at your job where most others would have quit long ago by now. What keeps you going?
The very first time I was ever put in charge of a patient, I didn’t know what to do. I was asked to take basic observations and I did as I was told. Over time, I noticed a recovering patient’s numbers start to go up in front of me and I liked that feeling. Respiration rate was improving, blood pressure stopped falling and the color started coming back. It filled me with so much relief that I knew everything was going to be okay when times were at their worst. It’s that sort of feeling which I want to keep going and even if I get scared, I know that somehow things will work out as long as I just keep on going and do as I’m told.
44. What are your thoughts on your time working with Miharu, and if you could, would you change anything?
S-She’s a very odd person to work with. Whether it’s her bravado or her sheer insubordination, she always seems to oppose anything that gets in her way as though it were obviously wrong. The hospital structure depends on rules and organization but Dr Endo seems to be always driven to do what is best for her patient even if it’s out of expected standards. Initially I thought of her as little more than a troublemaker trying to make life difficult. While this does make me feel more apprehensive than I should be on a regular work day, things do tend to work out whenever she takes charge of a situation. I suppose if I were to change anything, I would like it if she gave me some warning before she enacted one of her unorthodox plans…
45. Has your size given you any trouble with things like singular doorways or other narrow apertures? If so, what was your most difficult struggle?
A-awwu…t-this is my daily life. Hospital regulation doors weren’t made for girls my size and things in Japan on the whole are generally catered for smaller people. I’m slower than most girls so I have to really ‘run’ when I want to get to somewhere at the pace which most girls would normally walk at due to how narrow some corridors can be, particularly around pathology and maintenance areas. This is because I need to build up a bit of speed before pushing through and even that can be a bit of a struggle, particularly post operation.
I-if you don’t tell anyone, this one time where this came in handy however was when I overbalanced myself when I was going up the library stairwell sideways with all the research papers Dr Endo wanted me to put back. I fell backwards and would have probably suffered a serious injury if my hips hadn’t been firmly wedged against the walls. It’s not such a bad feeling though since being enclosed does make me feel a bit safer.
46. Do you actually enjoy the extra weight you possess? I know that in the past Miharu has forced some upon you when she's needed to save a life urgently...
If its for a good cause that’s fine…but being too big is more of what I worry about. I’ve talked a lot about why I don’t like my size but i-if you want to know what I do like…I guess the biggest benefit is I don’t have to explain myself when I go to the hospital cafeteria. In Japan, many restaurants have male and female menus based on serving sizes. Many people just look at me and pass me the male menu without question. It helps after a long shift and you’re just too hungry to think…
47. Have you been Big for a large amount of your life?
I didn’t start off big but I was a larger girl for my size throughout my school years. I played a lot of sport for a while but my parents wanted me to study more so I had to give up a lot of those when I got to high school. That’s probably where I started gaining a bit of weight. College only added to that but I only started to get kind of chubby after I started working. I tried going back to some weekend sports, but the constant shift work really challenged my hours and made it difficult for me to do anything but eat and sleep…I guess that’s just how things have been…
48. Has anyone ever honestly complimented you? Be it on your appearance or personality?
I-I don’t think I’m worthy of being complimented. I-I haven’t done anything really all that special. Most people who try to do that usually have an ulterior motive in mind, like trying to get me to change their test results so they can drive again or to try and modify results for discharge…It’s not a good feeling to be used like that…
49. Do you think, Miharu Endo your Friend?
I don’t know really. Sometimes she makes a really scary face, particularly when she’s thinking of something…unusual…Still, she’s the only person I can think of who has ever been so blunt with me up front, I don’t believe that she’s a bad person at heart. While I do admit, I didn’t like her at first, I like to think of her as a friend at least. She does look out for me in her own way…
51. What are you going to do when you've finished this interview?
T-there’s a movie I’d like to go watch after work probably…I’d like to do that…maybe with some cotton candy…since that’s only cotton sugar after all…and maybe with a bit of popcorn…and a bit of soda to wash it down…and maybe some of those sour gummies to balance out the sweetness…but I’d need dark chocolate to counter that…I think I need to write some of this down…
