because the research alone is a pain in the ass
*gg* That it is. If I didn't have any interest in medicine, I don't think I'd be doing it, either.

Yes, I like well-done medicine in fics, too. But it's hard to get it right, especially when you don't know your way around medicine at all. You seldomly have any choice but to c&p from Wiki, so I guess it's better to leave the medicine out of the fic completely if you really have absolutely no idea what you're talking about (the way I leave anything legal out of my fic, because I have no idea about law and stuff ;) ).
