Medical Errors 101: a physician’s tips on getting medicine right in your stories, with Melissa Yuan-Innes

If I get shot, should I take out the bullet?
Can you tell how long ago someone died, at a glance?
Pro tip: don’t watch TV if you want answers. Tune in to Dr. Melissa “Yi” Yuan-Innes, an emergency physician and award-winning author, to fact check your fiction. The doctor is “in” for a fun webinar not only for crime writers, but for those who want to write anything from more accurate non-fiction to sword fights.

Melissa Yi could slice your throat and sew it back up again. Legally. Because she’s an emergency doctor. This inspires her heroine, Dr. Hope Sze, to solve everything from ingrown toenails to full-blown murder, sometmes with the help of supernatural elements. In Killing Me Slothly, Hope confronts the sin of sloth when a killer cult, and the monster Cthulhu, invade the emergency department. Melissa won the 2023 Derringer Award for the best short mystery. As Melissa Yuan-Innes, she writes about everything from Cinderella in China to real-life cases in the ER.
