Fic: How to Love a Madman

I'm doing that 'posting somewhat prematurely' thing again, because I'm still waiting for icudoc to give his final okay on my use of medical vocabularly in this (and also, I'm still marginally unhappy with some details of the poem section), but I'm frustrated with uni stuff right now and finishing a fic and *getting it out there* seemed like a good cure for that frustration. So:

This will be crossposted to lifein1973 in a couple of days, but I want to sleep on it and reread it a couple of times before I do that.

(Wheeeee! An opportunity to use my 'stay' icon without feeling dirty! *g*)

Okay, question time again. @ people who read How to Love a Madman:

Did you 'get' that the abbreviations in the crossword puzzle were medical abbreviations? Or do I need to put one or two more obvious ones in there? And which ones could I use that people might actually recognise? GCS? FBC?

Rephrasing my question

I am interested in opinions from people who aren't medical professionals or 'medical geeks'. I'd like to get at least *one* opinion from one such person, because at the moment I'm really worried that I was being a bit too obscure in my fic.

Heck, you don't even have to be a LoM fan - if you can spare a few moments, I'd be thrilled if you could have a quick look at this and tell me if you got what the abbreviations in the last part were about, essentially. I think it should be possible to extrapolate this from the context - but then, I'm the author, so I can't trust my own judgment on this. The ficlet is only 652 words, so it shouldn't take much time. I'm not after general feedback, and I'm certainly not fishing for compliments - I just want to make sure I'm communicating clearly enough before I release this story to a wider audience.

(Original question here.)

Addendum to previous two posts

If I *was* being too obscure - how can I make it *less* obscure? My guess would be, by adding in a few more widely known abbreviations?

Suggestions?
