Variant Reentry
Dr. Edward Knox was a second-year internal medicine resident enduring the slog of graduate medical education. At the tail end of a long overnight call shift, a peculiar patient sends his overworked and overtired imagination to fantastical places right before he finds the end of his journey in a pair of headlights.
Awakening in a new world of magic and intrigue, Knox discovers his training to be a boon and a curse. In a realm where knowledge is power, he becomes one of the most potent healers in existence. Unfortunately, his abilities blaspheme the most powerful institution on the continent and mark him - and anyone who knows about his skills - for death.
Cast into a new world with new rules, Knox works to build his strength to survive the coming conflict, building some bonds of his own along the way.

This book was pretty good for a first time author, but fell short of being great.
The MC is a medical doctor doing his residency at a hospital when he's called to look at a patient transferred from the ER. He notices her ears have been mutilated at the upper ends in some way, but that isn't her problem. She has a massive tumor, but she refuses treatment, and fails to speak or communicate outside of nodding. Later upon leaving, the MC is truck-kun'ed and wakes up naked on another planet. He hears a cry of pain and rushes to find the nearly decimated group of elves. The one barely alive he somehow magically heals, and thus begins his adventures on this world.
There are a few potential LIs in this book, but only one has become an actual lover. The woman he rescues happens to be the daughter of the ruling matriarch of the elven city. There are two others the MC is technically responsible for, but have only become lovers to each other. While the sex scenes were decent, they weren't outstanding.
There's a lot of science, biochemistry, and medical knowledge thrown about by the MC, all of which is factually accurate. It's a little deep at times, but it does show the author knows what they are talking about. But there is a major time skip in the story, and some things seem to come out of nowhere. The editing was strong, with only one typo noticed. And the book is short at 225 pages, so it is a pretty quick read.
I will likely read a sequel to this.
