509 - Ahmed Conquers the World

Our friend Dr Ahmed visits us from Saudi Arabia. He first heard Weird Medicine in 2007 or so, called in in 2009 and decided to go to medical school based on how much fun it sounded. Man, is he in for a shock. Now a first year resident in the US, we hope he'll become a regular (and we'll try not to corrupt him).
