In Volume 1: Setting & Character, Dr. Dale navigated writers through the complex maze of hospital settings and medical professions.

� 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.

� 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.
