Good. Well, not good, but at least you don't have to sit through the whole explanation. While it's informative, it's also long.

I'm a doctor back home. Specifically, I'm an oncologist working for Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

Gah, sorry, I lost this thread somehow.

In a manner of speaking. Considering one of them is a coworker from home, and I've met the others, I'd say 'yes' is a safe answer.

While I almost wish I could say it's Stephen or Watson, that wouldn't be true. It's House.

[ It's a little disturbing, if he's being honest. ]

[onlytwothings]

Well, we're talking on the network, so unless you're actually standing right behind me, I don't think I need to be paranoid right this minute.

Still, I don't think I can ever look at scissors the same way again.
