[ ONE ] OH MY GOD, THAT WAS MY /EYE/

[pink_caduceus]

It's three in the morning and I just finished that ridiculous hypothesis for pathophysiology. My eyes are starting to cross and my hands are shaking from the caffeine (on my fifth cup of coffee right now), but at least I'm finished. Hopefully this will be sufficient enough for tomorrow's class, because I know I didn't go into as much depth as I

I suggest visine? Or blinking. Blinking has also been known to work.

If it is any comfort, I doubt a hundred cats would fit in any of the apartments in this building. Fifty, perhaps, but you would be unable to see the floor.

[pink_caduceus]

Blinking isn't working very well. I'll have to try to flush it out. Do you think this building is full of asbestos or something? I can't afford asbestos poisoning right now. I have exams coming up.

I'm allergic to cats, anyway, so I suppose it's just as well.

[dramabunny]

If you don't have eyedrops then I believe we do. Byakuya is paranoid enough to have prepared for most medical emergencies. I would be doubtful about the asbestos if not for the fact that we have several residents with suspicious coughs.

You could get Hemingway Sphynxes? They are a hairless variety.

LOOK. We don't need any fuckin' weirdo cats without fur in the apartment.

I thought vets were the ones who collected animals. And human-doctors collect...cadavers?

How'd you get a paint chip in your eye? I can borrow Hana's surgical tweezers if you want, they're sterile...

[pink_caduceus]

Human doctors collect empty coffee cups. Collecting cadavers would be pretty disgusting, and also, probably illegal. So we stick with coffee.

Pretty much how you'd think: I looked up and paint fell down. This building is falling apart.

[chicksdigdogs]

Well, people collect stuffed animals, so, y'know.

Didja get it out, or d'you want the tweezers? I got a pretty steady hand--got a flake of sawdust outta one of the horses' eyes when I was home couple months ago.

[pink_caduceus]

I do know. I collect these. Aren't they just adorable? They're stuffed microbes.

I'm attempting to flush it out with water, but if you'd like to stop by, I wouldn't mind. Perhaps you'd have better luck and I don't want to take any chances. I need this eye.

[sismarysunshine]

At least it wasn't blood from one of the infected! You'd be zombified by now.

[pink_caduceus]

From one of the infected? Who are the infected?

[sismarysunshine]

You know, the infected.

But the incubation time for the virus is just seconds, so there's no chance you could get it and not know.

[pink_caduceus]

Orihime, that movie isn't based on reality. No such virus exists outside of the movies.

[pink_caduceus]

Oh, don't worry. Once I feel myself coming down I just have another cup of coffee. It's a system that works really well.

How's your residency coming? Any interesting cases lately?

[pink_caduceus]

To be honest, I'm just sticking to whatever works until the boards are over. Then I can breathe and sleep and whatnot.

I'm jealous of your time on the wards. Textbooks are nice but I'm dying for a real patient or two.

[lunar_gale]

Don't worry, it isn't asbesdos that's causing all the coughing. I've been coughing since long before I came here.

On the other hand, I think there might be lead in the paint, so be vigilant about getting it out.

[pink_caduceus]

Lead is really only dangerous if you ingest it, and I haven't been eating the paint, so I'm not too worried. However, I do need to worry about preserving my vision ---

WAIT, I THINK IT FELL OUT.

AWESOME.

[lunar_gale]

Actually, I had lead poisoning as a child from breathing it... then again, garlic helps the system flush it.

I'm glad the chip is out of your eye. Sadly, I must agree with others about the coffee...

[pink_caduceus]

Lead poisoning from inhalation is pretty rare. It's a miracle you didn't die from such a devastating illness. You must have had good doctors.

And the number one rule in medicine is coffee.
