I...won!
I can't believe this. I won! I actually won the contest! I'm going to Okinawa for almost a whole week all expenses paid!
Shin keeps telling me that it's all about rubbing elbows and meeting important doctors from all over the world, but he also tells me the conferences are pretty short and the weather should be gorgeous this week.

The Day Arrives
When: Friday, June 15, 2007
Who: Jou, Rie, and Shin

The sound of Jou’s locker closing sounded like a gunshot in his head, causing him to jump a little and wake him from his near-stupor while he pinned his name tag on. He took a deep breath and hung his stethoscope around his neck. The note on his ( Read more... ) -

I need your help!
And for once my life's not in danger or anything ( Read more... ) -

Well, it's been about a week since I signed up for that clinical trial. The money has already disappeared into my bills, and the pills are about one third gone, and so far no side effects more serious than a case of drymouth for the first few days. So far I'd say this trial is pretty sweet. Maybe I should try signing up for more in the future ( Read more... ) -

Oh my god. I passed out after typing that message to Mimi-kun. This level of stress can't be healthy! -
Private to Mimi
Mimi-kun, do you want to get some coffee sometime? My evenings are pretty free, so give me a call or send an email.
