Medical Fact Checker

Home > Patron Toolbox > Medical Fact Checker

The Medical Fact Checker reviews your manuscript for medical and first aid accuracy based on the year and setting you choose. Skyrocket your story's verisimilitude with medical scenes accurate for your story’s time and place.

Make your story stronger with medical details your readers can trust.

Many authors struggle to portray injuries, treatments, and first aid in ways that feel both compelling and accurate. Small mistakes can break immersion or confuse readers who know how the real world works. Medical accuracy also changes with every century, battlefield, and region, which makes research hard to navigate on your own. The Medical Fact Checker helps you avoid these pitfalls by reviewing your manuscript with your story's time period and setting in mind. It helps you keep scenes believable while maintaining the pacing and tone you want.

When you upload your manuscript, the tool generates:

• A clear list of medical details that need correction or adjustment
• Explanations of why specific treatments or reactions may be inaccurate
• Notes on era-appropriate practices that preserve your story’s time period
• Practical recommendations that help you fix issues without major rewrites

You will walk away with confidence that your medical scenes support your story rather than distract from it.

Use The Medical Fact Checker To:

• Catch anachronisms before beta readers or reviewers spot them
• Keep battlefield and action scenes consistent with your story’s era
• Avoid dangerous myths that readers might try to imitate
• Ensure recovery times and injuries match believable physiology

Readers notice when medical details feel wrong because real injuries follow patterns that the brain understands instinctively. This tool works because it compares your scenes to the medical knowledge of your chosen era and then explains issues in plain language. You save time, avoid research rabbit holes, and keep readers immersed in your world with fewer unwanted surprises.
