chinese nonsense

I so do not get the obsession that Chinese people have with males carrying on the family name. Several million Chinese people have the same surname! It's really not that special.

thoughts in my head

I'm still trying to figure out why my family bothered to go into a Chinese restaurant that served green tea ice cream for dessert. Oh well.

Ever since I had this job, I've been freaking out about doctors and the entire practice of medicine. Reading stuff like this article about "a Polish woman who was left partially blind after doctors refused to give her an abortion" and the German nurse accused of killing 29 patients does not help at all. If you want to really freak out, you can type in a common surname in the Medical Board of California's Enforcement Public Document Search. It can get pretty gruesomely detailed. Luckily, the doctors I've seen myself have not made it on there, but we all know that monitoring is imperfect.

Head hurts. Should probably get off computer.
