That does it. If I can find no good writers’ references for medicine online, I guess I’m just going to have to go to med school.

Oh, damn.

So far, I’d say boldfaced look this up later in the middle of my writing will have to suffice if I want to keep going.

I may take you up on that, but damn, these links are handy.

My trouble is that my narrator's a doctor, so I have to SOUND like a doctor who knows what the hell he's talking about. I can do it from a layperson's point of view, but a narrator who knows what he's looking at and what he's supposed to do to fix it is harder.

Plus, finding new and interesting ways for patients to fall down dead (or mostly dead) isn't easy.

I think I've got something worked out this time, though. Thanks for the help!

(Also ScienceDirect and actually I think what I should've linked first was Pubmed... yay, paper-writing resources can be used for things other than writing papers! XD;;)

Out of curiosity, are you hung up on jargon or the general doctorly voice?
(If you know anything about fixing cars, I imagine it's a lot like a mechanic. Which reminds me about the joke about the heart surgeon and the car mechanic...)

Edit:
Also this and this.
