He/him. Rebalances the humours, climbs mountains, drinks scotch. Usually in that order. Usually. Hospital medicine, leftist, sometimes curmudgeon.

Lego figures of a patient and doctor. 
The patient says my leg hurts.
The doctor says that's not good let me fix it for you. 
The patient responds with what about the bill? 
Then the doctor says you live in Europe so don't worry about it.

I don't know if it's life imitates art or art imitates life... I think both Brecht and Kafka would both take a look at our health care system and say "I can't do anything with this it's already more absurd and dystopian than anything I can come up with"

She was very excited and jumpy and barky the first night. Now if she sniffs too close it just takes a quick hiss and she immediately drops her head and tail and backs away. They'll probably be curled up napping together by next week, lol

So we all know that night time cold medicine is green and daytime cold medicine is orange right? So Walgreens...did you put nighttime medicine in a daytime bottle or did you just add green instead of orange dye to daytime medicine? Only one way to find out - see y'all on the flip side!
Three bottles of cold medicine. The first is nighttime cold and flu with green liquid. The second is daytime non-drowsy cold and flu with orange liquid. The third is daytime severe cold and flu with green liquid.

For Murderbot Diaries fans... MB is very clearly and intentionally not gendered, but how does its voice read to you in your head? Femme? Masc? Non-gendered? I get a very strong feeling one way, but just curious if others did too #BookSky #Muderbot #SciFi @marthawells.com

Third panel: A doctor in awake says to both of them, "Seriously? Screw you both."
Forth panel: A visibly intoxicated person labeled WebMD says "you all have less than a week to live" while the doctor rubs the bridge of his nose in frustration.
