Are you familiar with the Hippocratic Oath?

This book pi tends to end up weird people.

No worries, Doc. You're in New York City. People get injured all the time.

I've never been accused of being weird before.

Well, that's true enough. My name's Raphael, you don't need to worry about the title unless it suits you.
