My parents came and visited me this weekend, and brought along little Franklin. Well, not so little anymore, it seems. He’s only 7 months old, but he’s pretty much fully grown now and finally out of his awkward teenage phase, as his head growth has caught up with his teeth and legs. And, he is […]

This weekend when I talked with my mom on the phone, she asked me if I was up for a trip back to Hong Kong. The occasion? My cousin, who is a year older than me, is getting married. She has been dating the same guy since college, which means they have been together roughly […]

Furthermore, I find perverse pleasure in the fact […]
I love that joke.
Anyway, let’s say a patient has ulcerative colitis (an inflammatory condition that affects the large intestine) which doesn’t respond to medical therapy and which can become cancer. What’s the cure? Removing the entire colon and rectum, of course. Problem is, most people want to keep their buttholes and use them instead of […]
People have asked me why I’m doing a colon and rectal surgery elective. "Is it because of some weird ass fetish?" they wonder. Even if it were - and I’m sure you could fulfill that some other way other than operating on senior citizens with colon cancer - that’s not why I’m doing this.
