    A shameless medical student trying to excuse my reading addiction as productive. Looking for something like the manga Medical Return (primarily focuses on modern medicine). I read BL, BG, even GL. As long as the doctor/medical professional character doesn't have a golden finger that cures everything with 0 explanation, or just uses acupuncture and traditional medicine. Even if it discusses the disease and not the treatment I am okay, or even if it's 'forensic files' style or just refers to popular drugs that I honestly should be studying right now but rather read isekai... I just want something that presents medicine somewhat accurately T~T because the blood of the father doesn't cure anaphylactic shock dammit.

    Sup! Fellow med student here.
    I write a GL Smut novel about necromancy but writing stuff about the medical side of things never crossed my mind before... But I guess I can try it out.

    Doctor Goes Back to Joseon
    I don't know why it has very low rating in NU :blobpopcorn_two:

    I'll try to get more in-depth after she "Awakens" but it could take a couple chapters... I just won the Scribblehub contest with this novel btw, so feel free to check it out. It's in my signature as Re:Born Necro.

    The only media I can actually even think of that's portrayed pretty medically accurately is Hataraku Saibou/Cells at Work, which is the manga/anime, disregarding personification and artistic interpretation.
    Aside from that, I practically refuse to acknowledge any other media aside from actual medical documentaries and lectures. I'm looking at you hospital dramas.

    I haven't read much of it, but Bone Painting Coroner might be something you'd want to look into. Kusuriya no Hitorigoto might also be another piece to read. I didn't find anything out of the blue so to speak, but I have noticed some skepticism over how versatile silver is used.

    And remember: the mitochondria is not the powerhouse of the cell (apparently).

    W-w-what do you mean my 1,000,000-year-old blood phoenix nine-essence ginseng pill can't cure my liver? They said there's clearly an extreme yin imbalance poisoning my dantian and my great-grandpa paid at least a good two million high-grade immortal crystals for this!

    Yeah someone have tick you out. The blood phoenix nine-essence ginseng pill is used for kidney only, because a transplantation is way cheaper and have less side effects it not used on market since 50 years, for liver you need the Cristal cleaning essence of house Wong, it made from ten blooming -one day flowers of 400 year old cactus, essence of white cristal from city of Xi and some Qi to refine it into a pill the costs are about 1000 immortal crystals for each pill.
