I'm not putting it down in any way, but I swear, maybe it is just the circle of people I surround myself with, population-wise Cali has a lot more students, etc., so they have to go somewhere.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03866077134601099787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123819319548998095.post-13036020762219861302009-08-16T17:52:47.967-05:002009-08-16T17:52:47.967-05:00Are they still using formalin?

So, I am too curious as to why you chose to pursue medicine.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760703100950276824noreply@blogger.com
