About this challenge
This Medicine DLE is built around medical specialties rather than fictional characters or a loose mix of hospital jobs. The goal was to pick recognized fields that are distinct enough to create real deduction without turning the table into a pile of one-off labels.
The clues use a closed vocabulary for approach, main focus, dominant setting, care profile, and key age group. That lets clinical, surgical, diagnostic, and acute specialties share one board without relying on fuzzy synonyms or improvised descriptions.
