Probably a dumb question from a newbie.......

[devoted]

I was just wondering if someone out there could tell me what the "say hello to BJ" manga is? That is, if it is a manga! LOL!

I've seen a "say hello to bj" bundle up on ISO Hunt that you can download, but I didn't want to do it without knowing what kind of file it was. I also don't recoginze the extension, so I don't know how to open it anyway.

Can anybody clear this up for me? Thanks! ;D

Thanks, Karchan!!! I've just finished reading the last half (started the first half ages ago when you put up the link, but didn't get back to it until now) and I really really enjoyed it!

I must admit, I did kind of miss the scar and the two-tone hair, though!

This series isn't about Black Jack. It is about a normal, every-day doctor who wishes he could be like the character Black Jack (this is supposed to be in the real world, not the Tezuka world...so Black Jack is just a work of fiction that is referenced in the series) because he is fed up with some of the pitfalls of the Japanese medical system.

[karmisempai]

Well, I really do wish there's someone like Black Jack in the world. That way, more people could be helped. Sometimes the medical system stinks, you know.

[Kuro]

Indeed, I wish I didn't have to go to the doctor at all because my doctor doesn't do well at her job, but I have to go to her in order to get my medication.

And the sad thing is my father had to talk her into giving me the medication I have now because she wanted to give me something that could of made me want to kill myself.

I'm so glad my dad is so smart... he basically self-prescribed himself and just have her think it was her idea and give it to him. (We take the same medication)

[karmisempai]

I see...

Forgive me if I'm intruding but what is your medication and what's it for? Just curious. Sorry if it's too personal. You don't have to answer it, you know.

Oh, yeah! My grandpa and I were arguing on the subject this morning. He says if the patient's family agrees to an operation, there's nothing the board can do about it. Otherwise, it's genocide. Did I get that last word right? My grandpa was a lawyer so he should have an idea on this topic.

[Kuro]

I'd have to get the bottle to know how to spelled what the medication is, but I have social aniexty disorder and obsessive compulsive.

And that's interesting about the genocide, it make sense.

[karmisempai]

I see... Well, I'm obsessive-compulsive, too! As well as scleorotic. Did I spell that right? Anyway, I'm a potential candidate for a twisted backbone or whatever you call it. My posture isn't very good. That's what I get for looking down on the floor while walking. I can't breathe and it hurts when I straighten out my shoulders!

[Kuro]

Ah, I hate straighting my shoulders! My dad is always pulling them back and I'm like, "I can't stay like that!"

I can't help I'm taller than most girls at my old school D; I'm 5'9, most girls at my school are about 5'0

[Huscheli]

Hmm I can't complain about our medical system o.o I'm quite happy with it.

@karmi-Sempai:
Genocide...isn't that when whole peoples get killed? ^^' Like the nazis did with the jews? I think this has nothing to do with this topic. Don't you mean "murder"?

By the way, my backbone isn't good as well. I can't walk upright (mostly because I'm taller than others, like kuro) and it hurts *_* But it's not THAT bad as if they could/should operate it.

[karmisempai]

I'll ask my grandpa again. What happened to the Jews was not only murder but massacre.

I'm surprised our backaches aren't far apart from each other. I might need a back brace soon. I just slept on the floor all my life until last, last year. I think that explains it. I'm just a few inches over five feet. I feel so short! And I still don't sleep on a bed. Just a mattress.

[Huscheli]

Quote from Wikipedia:
"Genocide is the mass killing of a population of people" Ha, I knew it!

Well I heard sleeping on the floor or on a mattress is healthier anyway. Maybe I should as well! o.o

[karmisempai]

Is that so?

My anatomy must be nuts! It seems to do the opposite!

I just imagined saying this to my grandpa: "Someone kicked your ass in law!"

[Esplandian]

a population of people???

That's kinda redundant.
