How do I use the word "where" as conjunction? Here's a question "This began when I was very young, when I was about 11 years old, I wrote a letter to researcher in the Soviet Union, asking about hypnopaedia, this is sleep learning, you get a tape recorder, you put it beside your bed, and it turns on in the middle of night when you're sleeping, and you are supposed to be learning from this." I don' know why speaker use "where" instead of "which". I think that the meaning of "where" is related to some place or situation and therefore "which" is more appropriate choice than "where". Please let me know why "where" is more natural. Speaking of which, since I started to learn English, I felt baffled when I meet where because I can't understand clearly when to use "where" or " which".

The Points Of View About 3 Departments of Medicine I'd been working as a neurosurgeon while I was a resident. Working in an university hospital, I had to cooperate with residents of all kinds of departments to help my patients a better treatment and could figure out their various characters which were entirely different on each departments. The depatment that I recieved support mostly in treating patients was internal medicine. Because most patients of my field have a character who are old-aged people and have chronic illness that have to treat in internal medicine. Internal medicine doctors is well known to people that internal medicine doctors are very smart and knowledgeable. However, like a quote "Knowledge is a poison", they tend to avoid aggressive treatments and hesitate to make a decision. In short, they have a character of "civil servant" that it would take millions and millions of years to do anything. Another department associated with me deeply was an orthopedic surgery. Because most of patients who be taken an injury of the brain were usually accompanied by lots of injury of the limbs. Generally many doctors call orthopedic surgeon carpenters, I totally agree with this saying when I always watch doing their surgery. When it comes to their life style, they have their own strict rules especially clothes rule that they have to button all kinds of wearing including gown, shirt, everything. There is no exception for just one button. They seem to think that keeping their a strict dress code is a virtue. I used to call them "Samsung Man", who is a symbol of diligence and standardization. On the other hand, my field, neurosurgery has an unique dress code : undoing 2 upper bottons of shirt and never bottoning an white gown. We always had lack of sleep. Because there are a lot of emergency operations every night. Our dress code was likely to be intended to be shown that we are always busy and tired, however we always do our best. Some collegues said that our gown flapping is cool when we run quickly. And we used to say loudly when we sew patients. Because our patients didn't have a clear consciousness, we had to do that. This actions became our habbits that we always said at any places. Sadly, this is the reason why the other doctors used to call us "Mafia"

Complaint to Civil Servants of Korea Korean society was based on confucian's root from Chosun Dynasty. Sa-Nong-Gong-Sang is well-known as one of these basic ideas and means korean words for Confucian scholar, the Farmer, The Artisan and lastly the Merchants. Of these 4 social classifications, the confucian scholars had been the highest-ranked position. In these modern times, these people called civil servant are also recieving the top notch treatment including salary, occupational stability, pension and so many things. Civil servants, as the name suggests, are people who have to serve on people with modest attitude. However, it happens the exact opposite in Korea. They intend to reign and control almost all the things in every field like a king of Chosun Dynasty. It seems as though they don't know that today is modern times and they are really incompetant, inefficient and even irrational. Indeed their populations has been growing continuosly. Perhaps, it was based on wrong policy decision of previous governments for just picking up more votes. I think that the more they do, the worse they make things just like "too many cooks spoil the broth." As I am a strong believer of a small government, it is necessary to minimize our government's role.

The Best Way I Got Chosen Only God knows where I should go, usually I've concerned myself the thing I'm doing now, not my future. It's insignificant to predict or worry about my far future. This is kind of my creed. Looking back on my past, there were some critical points that was able to set totally a direction of life. Everytime I come across that point, the big power that I couldn't see, called as kind of intuition or karma, has led me to where I am today. Let me tell you one story about it. Before I entered medical college, I'd never thought that I would be a doctor. Whenever my teacher ask me to want to be in the future from primary school student, I would always say "I want to be a scientist like Albert Einsetein. (I was a crazy believer of Time Machine) Even though I became a high school student, my dream has never been changed. but then thank to failure of my first college entarance exam (I can say like this in these days), the naive thinking that doctors are seemed to be cool caught me suddenly and I chose that route and I'm here. When I also even decided a major subject, I had followed the naive thought which the neurosurgeon looked just great. My choice has never been based on occupational stabilty or great humanism. There would be so many choices in front of you. When you meet that, maybe you are going to have concerns a lot about where to go. But No one can answer that question. Because each person had a different their own answer. If you want to be regretful less, I can tell you one thing. "Just follow as what your mind say" I think this is the only answer.

One question It takes some focusing - some twisting - but if that weakness can become a strength. ------- I can't apprehend this paragraph exactly. Does it mean that we need to focus or twist?

My memory from 10years ago I entered the first year of medical regular course 10years ago. Because of being easy character and idling my time away for lots of drinking in the premedical course, it's quite hard to adapt the busy life which was asked to study night and day. When I was in the middle, breaking up with my first lover, It happened a few major changes in my life including pros and cons. Talk about a beneficial event first Whenever I faced with situation some thing like meeting any kinds of girlfriend candidates, my insight into how I choose my GF changed in a good direction. I'd always naively followed her "beauty", kind of "appearance" before without considering any other conditions including "Did she have good nature" or " has she gotten well-education from her parents?" But I became to have more wiser view than what I had, to be precise, the wisdom and goodness became the most important virtue for me. Fortunately the present GF is the lovely person who entirely meets that conditions As there is always pros and cons in the real world, I started a bad habit of smoking. Although I am a doctor who always said to stop smoking for my patient and it is enough to know its very harmful effects, I couldn't stop smoking. I've smoked for as much as 10years, so I want to quit as soon as possible, it's not easy to quit, perhaps from deficient memory of my oral stage. Looking back at the past, I often miss the situation where I was. But I never want to go back because I always want to go forward without any regret. Although I go back 10 years ago, there must be always the same choice and decision. I am quite fond of who I am.

my favorite movie ; Dark night I've seen various kinds of movies in past 20 years I'm not sure what to choose as my best movie. because every movie inspires me to give a direction of life and great meaning. Well, i'm going to try to inform the best movie ever seen since my 30's Here's my top movie "dark night". I've even done it over 10 times As you know, it's directed by Chris nolan, a movie starring Chris Bale and is well known for block buster movie. If you see that movie in simple vision, it's just about a battle between goodness and evil. but Watch every character more carefully. That informs you a harsh truth in our living world. Let me tell you one example. Bruce wayne is a person who always trys to make a better world. He had a calm insight, a brilliant brain and even countless money. In short, he is a perfect guy and symbol of goodness. On the other hand, Joker isn't a person born with silver spoon like wayne. there had been many troubles in his whole life and those made him "evil" It seems that they can't be blended like water and oil. But the more you see the film, it's not true. They have a very close relationship. One character can't only exist without the other character. In other words, they became essential parts of themselves. What I want to say is the fact that goodness is never different from evil. In real world, something brings a harmful and beneficial consequence to the people at the same time.
