nickngregI have really tried to get my facts straight in this story but I have made a horrible mistake. I've killed Nick. Please read the message under the cut and accept my apologies for mis-leading you.
This is from a fan fiction reader from the 'WHAT MAKES THE DESERT BEAUTIFUL' site.
I am so grateful to her for taking the time to give me this detailed information and I will be running stuff by her for the next two chapters to make sure I don't do any more damage.
I will correct Chapter 23 for the archive records but I want to concentrate right now on getting things right from here on end.
Here is the e-mail.

Hi, Yoshi here.
I'm loving your story as you can probably tell by the reviews.
I just wanted to comment though on your use of Clozapine as an emergency type sedative. I'm a psychologist working in mental health rehabilitation and work with schizophrenic clients daily, many of them taking this drug as they are otherwise treatment resistant. You have the main side effect of agranulocytosis completely correct but this drug would never be used as a one off sedative. It has to be started at a very low dose and the client has to be hospitalised at the time, with the dosage being titrated up to the minimum therapeutic level. A sudden large dose to subdue would be fatal. They would more likely use an older antipsychotic like chlorpromazine or haloperidol, or quite often good old diazepam, for a fast reaction.
I do hope you don't take offence at this email, I just thought that with all the hard work you've obviously put in, and with how much I'm enjoying this, you'd appreciate hearing something from the shop floor so to speak.
Again, thank you for sharing your work. I love it.
Tracy/Yoshi
