Hey.
I hear a lot of medical questions from writers, everything from poisoning to stab wounds.
What happens in an ER? (It's not pandemonium, and it takes longer than three minutes from door to surgery.)
What does the heart look like in surgery? (A picture is worth a thousand words.)
How can my character take out his own appendix? (Don't try it.)
Seems like a bunch of writers want access to reliable information.
This blog will feature entries about items of medical interest to writers, and I'll review comments for requests for upcoming blogs. If you have a question you want answered privately, leave me your email in the comment. I'll do my best to get back to you.
So...get out there and write that medical scene with the flavor of being there.

PUTTING WORDS DOWN ON PAPER
Thank you, Susanne.
DeleteThe more followers the better.
I am working on a medical scene now and could really use some help! My email is alexagrace@cfl.rr.com.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I'll email you off loop, Alexa.

My thoughts are the same as Sandra's - I don't see a way to follow the blog and please make sure you come back and comment on your comments. I'd like to know your expertise and more about you too - there is so little on the blog - your archive and the postings and this being your first posting, doesn't lend much to you. Hopefully you will build this blog and add an email subscriber or subscribe anything button - so we can follow the blog as you develop it. E :)

I'll be "revealing" more about myself as the journey proceeds. :)
Great resource--thank you for inviting me to join the party! I second (or third) the wish for some sort of follow by email sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteWould also like to chime in and say that if anyone has veterinary related medical questions, I'm more than happy to offer my two cents worth as well.
I can be reached at akasarahmadison at gmail dot com
I've also started a general resource community on Live Journal: http://b4iwasawriter.livejournal.com/ in which people can jointly share their expertise in their fields, though I have to say, the group has been largely inactive since its inception. *grins sheepishly*

DeleteThanks! I know vet questions come up.
It'd be great to have you as a guest blogger once I get this off the ground.
