Hello! I'm Dr. G.C. Whiskers!
I am on staff here at St. Eligius, (affectionately referred to as "St. Elsewhere"), and these are my credentials!
I went to Harvard Medical School for my training, and then I continued with a post-doctural fellowship in mouse genetics.
We use mouse genetics combined with physiology to understand how changes in inner ear patterning and wiring affect an animal’s ability to perceive sound and motion. Projects employed a variety of techniques, including biochemical analysis of novel proteins, in vitro culturing of inner ear neurons, imaging of single cells during auditory circuit assembly, and gene expression profiling of wild-type and mutant cells. A familiarity with neuroscience and mouse genetics was a plus that I brought with me to the program I run now, here at St. Eligius. I have expertise in cell biology, imaging, microarrays, and signal transduction.
In other words, we experimented on mice, so we don't have to experiment on YOU!
All this talk makes me hungry. My, my, I think it's close to lunch time!

~Doctor's Notes~
08/09/04 - We lost a patient in surgery today......sigh..
It was quite distressing!
There we were, bent over, working on the fellow...
...when someone whispered there was a stash of catnip in the drawer!
We were only pre-occupied with the 'nip for a few moments...
and when we turned to finish the surgery.....
...the patient had disappeared!!!
He must have had a time, running on that sore leg....Wonder where he went?
Here at St. Eligius, we seem to have a lot of hot romances
going on,
and I believe I, myself, might be in love with that Nurse Stella!
"Don't look, Timmy...that lady needs to wear a robe!"
That fellow is going to be off his feet for a while!
"I hope I don't have to be seen
by one of those FOREIGN doctors!"
"I've been waiting FOUR HOURS!!"
"WHERE IS THE DOCTOR?? Having a torrid affair with a nurse???"
"Ewwww!! That guy is throwin' up!"
"We'd better wake the doctor...they're raising a ruckus out here!"
"Where is X-ray??? That guy's been waiting for AGES!!"
"Oh gosh! I hate to wake him...he'll be so grumpy!!"
"You're right. Let's just tend to the patients ourselves!"
"Yeah. After all....nobody's dying..."
"Open wide and say 'Ahhhhhh'...."
"Nurse, I'm all gowned up now...
Can I go in and see my Mom?"
"Sir, you'll just feel a little pinch....."
THE END
(In more ways than one, poor fellow!)
