    Hang in There, Kogasa-san 1741

    I'd been invited to a pre-con offline meet for Tokyo manga creators for the first time, so I went off to the meeting venue and so on, still suffering from this pain.

    Man, was I hurting!

    Both of these refs are Metal Gear Solid, but I think you knew that. :-) People who don't know the game won't get this strip. (^^;)

    I guess back in the days they had to cut you open top remove kidney stones and if I am not mistaking, lately they can do it with sound waves or something right?

    Ultrasound, yeah. It's much less invasive, but there's also a chance the calculus doesn't break up if it's not done properly.

    Does this...kidney stone seriously have the same name as an advanced form of mathematics, commonly referred as one level above algebra?

    Calculus.
    Noteworthy:

    Wikipedia said:
    Calcis, in Greek, was a term used for various kinds of stones, coming from the term for limestone. This spun off many modern words, including "calculate" (use stones for mathematical purposes), and "calculus", which came to be used, in the 18th century, for accidental or incidental mineral buildups in human and animal bodies, like kidney stones and minerals on teeth.
