As expected, my brother in Malaysia is telling me that the Ministry of Health will take their time with the papers I'm so urgently needing. Great.

At least on the bright side, something good happened. Got word that a paper of mine has been accepted for a conference in Washington next month. So that'll mean that I get to take a few days off and with free food, lodgings and flight. Will be talking about marantic endocarditis.

That should be a nice breather from the busy General Medicine Senior month I'm expecting for March.
