Writers! Authors! Humans who create!
Look, y’all, writing fictional medical stuff is hard. It takes a LOT of background knowledge to write accurate, believable scenes with doctors, nurses, or paramedics. And whether your story is set in a hospital, or has the briefest interaction with medical providers, it can still be a big challenge–and some people find it intimidating.
That’s okay. I’m here to help.
I’m your consult. Your phone-a-friend. Your beta for the medical bits. I’m here to help you improve your stories, to make them more believable. I’ve got ten years of experience in healthcare, with a focus in EMS, Emergency Medicine and Critical / Intensive Care–all the exciting bits!
Not sure what how a doctor sets a broken bone? Who does the stitching? What’s a
hematoma, anyway? What’s a believable dose of haloperidol–and why is
that lower case, but Haldol, the same medicine, is capitalized? What does an OR smell like?Ask me! (Ask me anything!)
I’m gonna be putting out resources for authors and scriptwriters, to help write believable, accurate, and exciting fiction. I’ll be around for NaNoWriMo and beyond. And I’m here for you!
So send me your questions, tumblr. I’m here to help.
