A frantic mother brought her 3-year-old boy in to receive a flu shot from pediatrician Taneki Mouri. "He is supposed to take an entrance exam for a nursery school soon," said the mother, concerned that the exam would decide the boy's entire future.
"I just told her to give him enough rest and nutritious food," Mouri said, adding that many frantic mothers like her have visited him this year. "At one point, five or six mothers like her were visiting each day. That is very unusual."
