It's the drugs man!

 If you struggle to remember the vast pharmacopeia that sloshes about your ICU and the ring-structure reconstructing part of your brain is less well developed than the average anaesthetic trainee – fear not! In 2010 Kiwi intensivist, Dr Paul Young, put together a Frank Shan-esque book of spells that targeted commonly encountered potions for his unit and then released it as a literary gem.

And instead of waiting for the royalty dollars to come rolling in (Anyone who has published a medical book knows this is a markedly unsuccessful retirement strategy), he let the guys on Life In The Fast Lane publish the entire thing for free.
