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.

...yeah my characters are more like soon-to-be evil ex-boyfriends in training.

Yeah. My characters are not like real people, because otherwise I'd be a hell of a manipulative sociopath.

Overwrought medical scenes are great in my book! I mean, it works for House.

What medical databases do you use? I'm sort of a medical junky, always looking for a new fix.
