Yesterday I went in for my doctor's appointment- Dr. Greg was amused when I told him about my Labtest Contest. "Relatives are not allowed to vote, but it says nothing about my physicians..." When I explained the free drink up to a $5 value his interest was piqued. I'm...

Labtest Contest V: The Return of the Living T-Cells
