I *want* to like this run. It's a good base storyline. But I'm getting so sidetracked by the fact that Priest doesn't do any research for the myriad 50-cent terms he tosses around. As a Black medical provider, I can tell you with certainty that "depressive cyclothymic narcissistic cluster b" is not a thing, pancreatic adenocarcinoma is typically genetic (and predominantly found in POC like me), and that Lenvatinib is used for thyroid and some renal cancers. If you're going to use real terms and diagnoses, at least use them correctly. Even without my own medical background, a quick google search would have told him this stuff. Suspension of disbelief aside, it's frustrating and disengaging to read something that assumes the audience is too stupid to know better.

He’s finally on the mend, going home and Lois goes nuclear. Bad choice lady.

Cringed at how Lex says chivalry is woke.
