    • medical drama
    • non-lintacanon Feanorians
    • who are in dath ilan for some reason
    • ICU medicine in way too much detail
    • gross medical procedures and bodily fluids
    • I am not kidding about the bodily fluids
    • overly honest depiction of ICU nursing
    • except in dath ilan so it's also vagueblogging Earth constantly

Prerequisites
