A Secret Vice

[bloodyrosemccoy]

I have come to realize that, in lieu of overwrought sex scenes, my writing vice is overwrought medical scenes.* Which makes some sense when I write Doctors! sci-fi, but it’s probably a bit harder to justify in an old-timey Standard Fantasyland.

I apologize for nothing, though. For one thing, it’s got the extremely fun side effect of letting me cruise through medical databases with complete fascination. Dang, I love the internet.


*And either of these scenes immediately invalidates an author’s claim that their characters are like their children. If I had to name two of the things at the very top of my—and, I’m guessing, everyone else’s—list of Things Parents Should Not Inflict Upon Their Children, I would come up with sex and traumatic injuries.

Not to mention an excuse to shoehorn in one of my favorte characters, the sprite medstudent. And, y'know, cool medical stuff.
