Hey all,
I know it's been a while since I've updated here. I've been on my surgery rotation and haven't had much time to draw. Comics should be back shortly! (hopefully!)

Welcome to Indeterminate Causality! This is a site of my (mostly) medically related comics. If you like what you find here, please comment and tell your friends. If you don't, tell your friends that you did anyway so they can join you in your sorrows.
About Indeterminate Causality
Indeterminate Causality is a collection of some of my comics, doodles, and sketches. It's a commentary on life, situations we all find ourselves in, the world of medicine, being a guy, and interpersonal interactions, with a slant towards making scenarios as amusing as possible. Updated Monday-Wednesday-Friday (I try, sometimes its difficult with school/exams and such).

I'm not sure why,

Recapitulation

Which is much like a real breast augmentation, in that it will hopefully further your careers. However, if you lack any significant talent, it won't really help. Good luck!

This holds true for

is most likely at least a 5/6 because those guys don't even carry stethoscopes.

Comics Are [almost] Back!
Just a heads up, new comics will start being posted again next week! I take my boards shortly and will then have some time to do some drawing. Not sure if any of you missed these, but I sure did. Monday the 25th should have a new comic!
In the mean time, if you all could send some good karma my way I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Tommy
PS. If you haven't seen it already, and want to be notified of new comics via Facebook, I have a Facebook page here

Hey all,
I've been really busy studying for boards lately, and haven't had time to do much [any] drawing. Sorry about that, but unfortunately school comes first. I will attempt to get some comics up when I can, but will probably not get many up before the middle of June, when I should get back to the normal 3x/week schedule. I'll get back here when I can!
Wish me luck on boards!

I mean, you could
also view pregnancy as a couple's issue, in which case being female is
irrelevant. The point is, make sure your patients realize that sex may equal babies.

Yea, it's much like
the Anatomy of a MS-I, but much more haggard, and worried looking. Also, MS-II
is obviously more conflicted about the end of the school year as 1. The year is
ending, and 2. Boards are looming.
