Off Topic / Re: Japanese QUake
« on: March 16, 2011, 04:25:49 am »Thank you for your sympathies Iguana... It's hard to describe how I feel about this whole event... I am frustrated for my lack of ability of money to help. It's also hard to convey this feeling to others. For now I am trying to channel my frustration and worry into studying harder for my mcats so that I get to a place eventually where I will be able to help disaster victims in the future.
Now with the radiation levels approaching harmful levels, there is a worry about the health of my relatives who survived the quake but may come into harm's way via nuclear fallout...
My family is sending Potassium Iodide as fast as we can to my uncle and his family who reside in the tokyo metro area... He has told us that there is no KI available anywhere in Japan anymore, (that any normal person can get their hands on) so its quite a worry.
