Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention this. If Carson really wants to be a smart-ass, he can claim he had a "syncopal episode" (to be said with snooty look on face). :-)

thefannishwaldo January 27 2007, 21:40:05 UTC

Yeah, but how would he get by saying he had one of those but Rodney fainted? Does what you faint from give it a different label? :)

dr_dredd January 27 2007, 21:43:19 UTC

No, what you faint from doesn't matter. He could just say that "it's a medical thing; you wouldn't understand." Watching Rodney's face turn bright red would be very therapeutic! *grins*

thefannishwaldo January 27 2007, 21:47:01 UTC

Hee! That would be funny. Rodney goes scrambling around in the medical data bases trying to figure out the difference when there *is* no difference. Carson's own version of a snipe hunt! :)

You're evil.

No wonder I like you. :)

Finally! Someone notices that I'm evil! ;-)

Medical school education: ~$120,000 U.S. dollars

Textbooks, journal subscriptions, database fees: $1500 U.S. dollars

Watching snarky Canadian physicist search for fact that doesn't exist: priceless

There's some things that money can't buy; for everything else, there's Atlantis.

OMG! LOL!

Hey, are you on IRC or LJ's talk thingy? I'd like to pick your medical mind for a (so help me) SGA novel I'm thinking of doing.

dr_dredd January 27 2007, 22:01:23 UTC

Unfortunately, not. I'm on a work-related computer, and it won't go thru the firewall. If you want you can email me: dr_dredd01 at yahoo dot com.

thefannishwaldo January 27 2007, 22:49:52 UTC

Great! Thanks. I sent a long rambling email. Apologies if I'm like totally hallucinating, but I swear I've heard of that thing before. :)

dr_dredd January 27 2007, 23:25:25 UTC

Got it. I just sent you a response. I'm not sure it's exactly what you're remembering, but hopefully it's helpful. :-)

thefannishwaldo January 28 2007, 01:01:44 UTC

That was exactly it. My next door neighbor had the boots with the bar when I was growing up - that's what I was mixing in there. Thanks.

I guess that means I have to write that monster thing now, doesn't it?
