an apple a day keeps the doctor away
Look, ladies, Grey's Anatomy has crossed over the pond to cure British souls. I hope I would be able to turn on the telly in time for the show, because tonight Dame Judi Dench is inviting me over for milk and biscuits. I've also had a detailed study of the cast, and discovered that like ER they've included an unstereotypical Asian American woman; it's Ming-Na vs. Sandra Oh. Yet I have no recollection of Ming-Na's doctor portrayal, because I was too busy looking at Noah Wyle during his pre-beard period. Speaking of doctors and medicine, my flatmate B recently suffered from an eye infection, and was ranting on as usual about how lousy Western medicine is. After days of showing no signs of recovery, a Japanese friend offered some of their homegrown ointment, and voila, his eyes are as sparkling as new. B's conclusion is that during WWII Japanese soldiers have been using the Chinese as guinea pigs for medical testing; therefore, their medicine are naturally more effective. At this point, I don't know whether I should thank my poor ancestors or the cruel Japanese soldiers?
