O knihe

Medicine is hard.Writing about medicine doesn't have to be. Struggling to write your character's chronic illness? Need to injure a character but don't know how? Look no further! Let physician and author, Natalie Dale, MD, be your guide to writing about medicine. In Volume 1: Setting & Character, Dr. Dale navigated writers through the complex maze of hospital settings and medical professions. Now, the doctor is back, tackling one of fiction writers' biggest and most important questions: how to believably injure, poison, sicken, maim, mutilate, disable, or otherwise cause harm to their beloved characters. In Volume 2: Illness & Injury, you'll learn: · How to believably injure characters-and the treatment they'll need to survive. · Which life-threatening conditions might afflict your young, otherwise healthy character. · How to describe tough medical situations, such as suicide, miscarriage, and cancer. · How to avoid medical clichés and harmful misrepresentations. · And much, much more! Volume 2: Illness & Injury is packed with straightforward, practical, and sometimes hilarious advice that will transform your writing about medicine from a research nightmare to an enjoyable adventure. "Clear, concise, and filled with accessible and usable current medical facts that will add depth and credibility to any story, the A WRITER'S GUIDE TO MEDICINE series is a must-have for every writer's reference shelf." - DP Lyle, MD, award-winning author of the Jake Longly and Cain/Harper thriller series. "An absolute must for any writer of fiction wanting to get their medical facts correct. Dr. Dale writes a compelling and informative book that should be required reading for anyone delving into the world of hospitals, medicine and trauma" - Neil Bradbury, PhD, author of "A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them"
