este uno broma?

Why would your son care about the opinion of a bunch of internet posters?

he really doesn't but i think it is a topic of interest-no?
he plans to join doctors without borders when he is done where he will be sent to countries where the people have really strange ideas. eye of newt ,etc. and there was a ,[ahem] "doctor" mike on here for a time who was believed by a bunch of members on here because regular medical science seemed to be less appealing than the unproven nonsense he was spouting. he did look interesting in the nurses scrubs he was wearing in his avatar. unfortunately he succumbed to a heart attack i think, and had to submit himself to real doctors who use scientifically proven methods to save our lives or cure/control diseases that afflict us.

To quote a friend of mine.
