	'''BC:''' That's a fairly good analogy, actually. Our anatomies are a weird mishmash of human and animal that somehow all works. As if we'd actually evolved this way. From the perspective of human medicine it adds some incredible risks if you choose the wrong treatment, and it complicates diagnoses like you wouldn't believe. We lose patience because they're ''just'' nonhuman enough to have life-threatening allergies to common over-the-counter medications.

'''Richard Sobel''': If you don't mind, Doctor, I'm going to ask you some of the questions Dr. Frasier didn't have time for. They're of a more general nature.

'''Dr. Bryce Clay''': Fine, fine.

'''RS:''' It's literally a whole new world of medicine. I understand you're working with the vets at Seattle's zoo?

'''BC:''' Since about a year ago, yes. After the Sleeping Sickness Committee was formed they somehow produced more of those Veil-canceling glasses and distributed to hospitals and vet clinics. There were enough of us in those disciplines by then that it wasn't that difficult to start the cross-fertilization. Starting with our own anatomies, we submitted ourselves to every diagnostic you can think of.
