Illuminati

So now I have a primary care physician. I just got back from my first appointment with her. She's changing my prescriptions slightly, increasing one of the drugs.

She's quite nice. And she's half Japanese. (YAY!)

Had to fight the urge to address her as -sensei, didn't you?

Last time I was at the clinic, my doctor was a Polish immigrant, who wanted to know about my Polish last name (sorry, I'm descended from turn-of-the-century political dissidents, and great-granddad changed the name at Ellis Island.  No data.)

My mother had a Japanese immigrant specialist for arthritis surgery on her hand.  (Didn't go by -sensei.)

2 That ("sensei") never occurred to me. But I did mention that I'm an anime fan. She asked me what my favorite show was. That's a difficult question to answer, but I decided that Mouretsu Pirates was a pretty good choice. She hadn't heard of it.

3 Didn't try "Boudacious Space Pirates"? Just as well.

4 That name sounds like porn.
