When I was in medical school and briefly in residency (first year only before calling it quits), I was so stressed out. Two simple pleasures in life that seemed ordinary before became emotional lifesavers: listening to music and watching movies. They helped destress me during those tough times.

When I created the character of Dr. Mark Lin, I needed something to make him unique, given that all protagonist docs in medical fiction are smart. I decided to also have him destress with music and movies. This is why my debut novel, and future novels in the series, has song and movie references.

Obtaining permission is required for including song lyrics in books, so I avoided that. Instead, my song references involve the title and artist, a description of what kind of song it is, and Mark's emotional state while listening. People unfamiliar with the songs do not need to worry.

For movie references, I interweave the titles and sometimes notable movie quotes into my dialogue and narrative. Makes the book more interesting and not feel entirely like an academic medical narrative. Of course, I don't overdo it. I just do them more occasionally.

I hope my use of music and movie references in my story will make it more interesting and unique compared to other medical fiction out there. 🙂
