im so sure the mangaka has a medical background

the medical background of the characters were so well-written that some of the banter between the doctors across different disciplines and mild commentary of hospital politics makes me believe the mangaka has first-hand experience of being in the clinical field or has a medical background, especially in orthopedic surgery since a lot of this information isn't easily found through basic research.

im thoroughly impressed by how well-made the doctor character is, and its not just some author randomly making their MC a doctor to sound smart. absolutely loving the small niche realistic details about orthopedic surgery and university hospital life as a resident that the author threw in!! like how balancing research, conference presentations, case studies, surgery rotations, and patient consultations are part of the demands of university hospital residents compared to other practitioners in private settings. also the proper handling of medical malpractice accusations through their medico-legal team, the subtle politics between nurses and doctors, and the funny jab at IM & GS doctors lmfao (this is information you get only by working at a hospital or being close to someone who is).

anyways, big kudos to the writing & character building of this story!! its so consistent, refreshing, and such a nice read <33
