doctors with pierced ears

Thanks a lot for telling me
I will be a medic in a month.
My parents (my father is a doctor) say....

Don't
+dye my hair +wear manicure +wear nailtips
+pierce my ears blah blah blah

They say no matter how another students are like, I shouldn't follow them.Well I understand the reason why I shouldn't wear nailtips/manicures.The germs could creep into between the nail and the nailtips during experiment,maybe.(?) The hands should look as they are because they are conspicuous and I have to treat dying people with that hands.(?)

I'm on holiday now,but they had histerics yesterday when finidng my wearning red manicures.("mental posture to be a medic is important!"...)They are so rigid and they have always made me behave conservatively whole my life.I am sure if I pierce my ear they go beyond hysterics.(But I'll do tomorrow.)

I believe small pierced earings won't do anybody harm.If I remove them the halls are not so visible so I can remove them when attending lessons in hospitals.

I just wanted to listen to how another countries' situations were like
(Of course some parents are generous in my country.My parents are just too rigid.)

Thanks again!

PS In EU animal experiments for cosmetics has already banned. but not in Japan. That wave couldn't reach Japan.

Really?

...

After talking with her and reading her website for naive-vet-aspiring-students I decided to be a medic,not a vet.It was a very difficult decision.So actually my goal is to be a scientist,not a doctor...at present.So I hate people who call me followsuit.They know nothing about me.At the same time I also hate people who seriously say..."Doctors earn a lot more than vets.You made a good choice." "You will be a rich girl so I have to cherish you!" .

So, You wanted to be a vet to help sick animals, then a vet told you that you will have to do some unpleasant things, and now you instead want to be a doctor... But you don't really want to be a doctor, you want to be a scientist with a medical degree?

During your work experience with vets, was your experience a positive one?

my work experience? I haven't worked with the vet ....??? Yes right now I want to be a scientist with a medical degree. Developing alternatives can do both humans and animals good. Humans and animals except humans are different. The responsiveness for a chemical substance can be very different. To acquire more acculate data for humans from experiments - 3R is also effective in that meaning. Of course my dream could change in the future, but right now it is my dream.

and I am not sure whether I am REALLY happy or not to be a medic.When deciding to choose my course;medic or vet,I dwelled again and again.I was not sure whether I could do well to treat life.still I am not sure. I may not be able to do well to treat life. Another reason ( which turned out after passing the entrance exam) is that my parents got more rigid by my choosing to be a medic. I was not allowed to do what I wanted to do whole my junior high/high school days.I suppressed myself for such a long time. I understand their prohibition to some extent,and actually my school had rules,so...it may have been ok. and I believed I was able to do whatever I liked after entering university so I was able to endure.but see what is happening now.He said if I pierced my ears he forced me to quit uni. I shouldn't have asked even in the subjunctive mood.

It is a long story and I am quite unhappy about being raised like this.

I think we are forgetting the cultural differences between Japan and the UK Hygeia. Only fifty years ago I suspect multiple piercings in ears would have been frowned upon, even in the supposedly 'non-judgemental' medical fraternity. On another note, do you put three bits of metal in each of your ears?
