HMD - How's My Driving?

Just because Adele's an OC doesn't mean she, or I, have a solid understanding of one another. Any and all comments, questions, concerns, and critiques are extremely helpful and appreciated! Especially if they concern medical knowledge and surgery techniques; if you find a error please, please, please point it out and I'll correct it!

First of all I'd like to thank you for the thorough criticism. I prefer details when going over what I can improve rather than vague suggestions, and you've offered plenty, with possible ways to adjust what I've written to make Adele a better character. I cannot thank you enough for the insight.

Other than a very rough understanding of hospitals, hospitalization, and the work of a surgeon, I rely primarily on what I can find with Google, though I will make sure I use it more often for greater accuracy and believability.

I've always meant to go back through Adele's history and tweak what needs adjustment, as soon as I knew what it was. Having criticism like yours is invaluable, and will help me make the changes that are necessary for the whole to be more feasible, and enjoyable.

You've been fantastically helpful and again, I can't thank you enough. I want to improve Adele, and with this? It'll be easier since I know what needs fixing.

It's good to know you're using it as an arrow pointing you in a direction you should do reading on instead of taking my word as gospel. My degree is in music, not medicine. I wish I could point you to specific resources. I do know that, if you can find a surgeon with enough time on their hands (hard task to accomplish), doctors just love talking about what it is they do. Touring a hospital is surprisingly enlightening, too, especially the ER and other places where Adele would spend a lot of time. It's also really interesting, so. Yeah.

I'll just have to start bribing the friends that I have that are med students with cookies for more accurate information. Yeager and Willock's mun has been invaluable in their interactions, as she's currently in medical school, and is more than happy to share what she's learning or what she can from the databases available to students.

That's fantastic. I mean, you don't have to learn how to become a trauma surgeon yourself, just know how to make Adele sound like she knows what she's talking about. Which isn't gonna happen overnight. There's just too much to learn. I know the stuff I say about Archie's time and profession today are things I'm going to look back on and be like, "WHY DIDN'T I KNOW BETTER???"
