105 Diagnosis

In the event that you find your skin to be orange after consuming your weight in carrots, City carrots no less, don't be alarmed. Consuming that much beta carotene, it should be no surprise. I wouldn't recommend a diet of that many carrots unless you want to increase your chances of prostate cancer, lung cancer, or cardiovascular problems.

The mystery is solved. If it isn't that, take Motrin. If it does nothing...someone will see you eventually.

This is way, way more clinic duty than I've ever willingly undertaken. Surely, someone has an infectious disease or maybe a bacteria not yet diagnosed. You're holding out on me. I'd ask about any downstairs mix ups but I still think it's too soon. Right, Dr. Cameron? Dr. Chase? They'll be modest. Always.

I would like to say, loudly and proudly, on the network that meat is good. Cows are delicious when prepared properly. Not eating meat doesn't make sense because our body processes it. How much and of what sort, it can vary. People say eating red meat is unnatural, that's not entirely so. It again goes back to how much. How frequently. How now brown cow.

Sorry.

Besides do you even make cures? I didn't think you were into the research part of medicine. Or the clinical trial part.

Wood-carving? That's not a hobby, that's a cure for narcolepsy.

Nope. Lucky me.

P-p-promise?

LOL THAT ICON

Yeah...very, very, very lucky.

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
No, I don't make cures. I diagnose which there after could potentially lead to treatment to cure.


....I'm an advocate for clinical trials.

Unless it's a curse. I'd have no control of it. ...Then you'll get a head start.

Get any Thumper action?

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
You'd be surprised. Upper management hates that kind of thing.

Shouldn't be any time soon.

What else can you do, then? Stay bored?
eiremagic: (Eden - are you for real?)

[personal profile] eiremagic 2010-09-24 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
...really?

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Read, diagnose, eat, play music, schmooze...

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Really. FDA testing first, and sometimes animals depending on the company. They want a very specific demographic tested before it's even considered. Anyone sees the word experimental or not yet proven and replace it with LIABILITY. Just because it isn't frequently used doesn't mean it won't work. It just means the outcome hasn't been pinned down. When you've got a dying person and there aren't any other choices, why not have your own clinical trial?

You already sound bored listing them out.

Does your life suck or something?

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Because it is.

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Define suck as you know it.

[personal profile] eiremagic 2010-09-24 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
What the fuck is the point of being a doctor if there are stupid rules like that to make fixing people difficult?

[identity profile] vicodincrutch.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
There are ways of working around it. I'm living proof. They say the rules are to protect people. Possibly keep lawyers from starving too.
eiremagic: (Eden - doubts it)

[personal profile] eiremagic 2010-09-24 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
I fucking hate lawyers.

You're not content. There's nothing you really care about?
