Nov 8, 2010 Medical Speak for Writers by Dara Edmondson and Joanie White
Many romance novels feature a main or secondary character with a disease, an injury or a chronic illness. Lots of others use the backdrop of a medical facility or conveyance or have a character who works in the medical field. In order to get the details straight—a critical necessity for today’s savvy reader—an author must be able to access credible medical information.
Medical Speak for Writers is a three-day class that covers the various types of medical facilities, the departments of a typical hospital, medical terminology, various medical specialties, patient experiences and common injuries.
Why is it so imperative to be accurate? How much detail is too much? What are the best and most credible plain speak websites to find the information you need to create plausible medical situations?
