Medicine is a world unto itself; lives can be changed in an instant and decisions are truly life-or-death. But it's also a bizarre and alien world, full of unique settings, confusing acronyms, and a confounding array of different conditions.

No wonder writers love to write about medicine. No wonder they get it wrong.

In the Writer's Guide to Medicine, Dr. Dale shows you how to accurately depict the world of medicine in your writing and points out the most common clich�s and medicine-related pitfalls.

In Volume 1: Setting & Character, you'll learn:

- How medical professionals approach an emergency

- Key sensory details for unique medical settings

- How to avoid medical clich�s.

- Facts about death and dying

- Specifics about comas, consciousness, and the infamous "medically-induced coma"

- The truth about hospital food

- And more!
