Right, so I pulled out of the previous GFX round due to not being able to finish on time. Since then I've been working on the image on-and-off and now it's finished only about a week late.
The picture shown below is half the size, the fullsize one can be found by clicking on the picture.
The full resolution pic (1280xs1024) is low quality...the high quality version is 1.1Mb and doesn't fit on photobucket xD Lame. Except I feel justified with the size...this was hand-drawn from start to finish.
I should have tidied up the sketchlines more, but wasn't actually intending to spend this much effort on it. Meh.

I've only been talking about it everywhere, but just to supplement the story I've been telling everybody about being in med school and stuff...
Actually it's a bit more than that. We have known some users on this site to fabricate complex stories about their lives... which were later shown to be completely fictional. Since this is the internet, the ramifications of such tend to be limited, and there's nothing inherently wrong with making up random stuff about your life, so long as you're not violating the site rules (there have been examples of this happening, hence the qualifier). However I have witnessed a few users masquerading as doctors and medical students, and I don't know how the other genuine pre-med/med school students took it but I was actually pretty personally offended by the mockery they were making of the profession (often marked by trumped up and self-aggrandizing claims betrayed by a complete lack of understanding as to the structure of the industry). So I'm particularly keen to reassure everybody that my credentials are genuine.
Thus what I've got here are (very grainy, as my camera is old and about to kick the bucket) photos of the pieces of paper as handed to me by the vice-Chancellor of the university yesterday. You will note that they correspond with what I've been telling people, and later on you may also find further evidence that proves, beyond any reasonable doubt, that they are genuinely mine (how I plan to do this shall, for now, remain a mystery hehe):
This one was technically obtained after the writing of my year-long thesis and course in biostatistics and epidemiology, which was all being completed in the first few months I was a member here (I joined AG because I was really bored sick of writing the thesis itself...) In fact I remember accepting the invitation to become a moderator a few days after I submitted the thesis lol. I think they may only be one or two fellow veterans still around who remember what I was posting before that time!
This is the main part of the degree, the bit that everybody needs to get to obtain an MBBS i.e. the other 5 years of my course. As you can see I've blotted out the name of the recipient, but Gantic can tell you that the blot is in the same shape as my blotted out signature on some of the pieces I've uploaded earlier xD As common as it is, I'd still like to keep my real name and thus a couple of aspects of my identity a secret :P
Thanks guys, I actually didn't know that everybody was posting here, coz I went overseas and by the time I got internet this thread had been buried!
Sadly there have been about as much result out of it as there have been with my doctor
A real-life consultation would be nice (for diagnostic purposes), but I know a few people who have a similar issue, and my feeling is that what we really need right now on the topic is better research, because we're kinda stuck with symptom control that "may or may not work". After all, headaches suck!
Okay, to keep this sorta on topic, I'm rehashing something I drew and posted in the WoM thread.
lol
