well, tomorrow is another appointment with the doctor. i wonder what they'll try to do this time. i do think that i should probably take them a little bit more seriously this time around, because i think i might be developing what could be symptoms of some issue. we'll see.
i'm quite annoyed at the cleveland clinic. not only did they tell me i had

That guy above who said that Chinese doctors can't be trusted because China is a poor, communist country is full of shit. I can't believe that bullshit. China is a very advanced country. They've sent people into space, the coastal parts are very urbanized and computer-savvy, and they can combine modern medical knowledge with some of the oldest (oldest safe, at least - hopefully no leeches) medical knowledge in the world.

Saudi Arabia is the kind of country I'd worry about more - I bet they teach how to perform female circumcision in Saudi medical schools.

Also, a lot of doctors have bad hygeine just because they work such long hours.

U.S. medical schools are far from the best in the world. American doctors have done a shitty job of keeping us healthy - they can cure horrible problems, sort of, but they don't tell people how to prevent them. Americans are a sick lot. I'd trust a Japanese doctor more than an American doctor any day, if all else were equal.
