I am a practicing physician. I spent over a year on a transplant ward. I write and have written articles for TEVA Pharmaceuticals. I have spent 5 years in Yeshiva studying religion. On wikinut I have taken upon myself 2 big projects - 1 is a detailed, multiarticle work on hypertension and the other is an ongoing story about a witch and a werewolf, both of which would appreciate comments.
