Yes, boss!
    Once again, in this I have been fortunate. I haven't had a poor experience with any medical director that I've had the pleasure of working with. Nevertheless, there does exist an unspoken and unwritten rule of maintaining decorum that I can't explain. Perhaps I've just gotten used to respecting my senior consultants in general.
    Remarkably, I've noticed the same about myself when it comes to pretty much anything. I have a strong sense of honor and respect to those who have bla...

    I'd like to talk a bit about today's comic strip.  In medicine, we spend years and years training and working to advance ourselves in our careers and to become better doctors.  By the time we find ourselves just about ready to take the worl...

Sunshine Share

Posted by Carlo Jose San Juan, MD on Monday, November 7, 2011,

    This comic page was my contribution to the Indies Maximus anthology/sampler comic book given out last Free Comic Book Day.  It's significant in several ways.  One of the most striking is the fact that it's a longform page, something I'm not used to doing.  It's also a return to Black & White, as the book was printed as such.  Furthermore, the panels were hand-drawn!  In a way, all the back-to-basics was a welcome change from the ever-growing digital aspect of the production of Callous Com...
