"Diagnostic Medicine" - so they really did model this after House MD didn't they? I guess then this Dr. Ramsey will also be similar in character to Dr. House, only less attractive, lol. (Sorry but Hugh Laurie is definitely better looking than whoever Ramsey is modeled after) It makes me wonder how old MC is in this? Given that they're a resident they can't be fresh out of med school but also .. diagnostic medicine (which I'm not even sure exists as an actual department in actual hospitals outside of House MD) is not something one would or could specialize in this early on in their medical career? Like in House MD all of the people on House's team were already finished, trained specialists in certain medical fields (like in internal medicine or neurology etc) and had years of practical experience before they worked in diagnostic medicine.

And I know, I know - this is fiction (then again so is House MD) and the MCs in these books are always super special snowflakes who can do almost anything but idk if MC is like .. in their early to mid twenties (and I don't think we ever got an MC older than that ahve we?) and their only practical experience is one year of being an intern before this I'm gonna have a hard time taking anything in this book serious .. even less so than I normally would. Don't get me wrong I'm gonna still play it and maybe I will even enjoy it (hell I enjoy Grey's Anatomy and that is as far away from being realistic as possible) but I'm not expecting too much I guess, especially if this is written by the same people who wrote RoD :|
