Kinda unrelated, but if anyone's here getting an idea to do a push-up on your bed, don't. Best to do it on the floor, but if you don't have the space, do a wall push-up instead.

Yeah, he was right that the painting was awful so I can't dismiss his taste yet. (looked like something out of Attack on Titan...)

so many death flags here. I guess Falma will be forced to use another miracle to cure his bro rather than relying on his chemotherapy.

I give Palle a lot of shit for being an idiot, but I actually rather like the exchange between him and Pharma in this chapter. "I suck at being a patient. This will be a good experience for me to learn how to better empathize with those I'm treating." Learn hard, Pharma. This may be one of the few times you're able to learn from your brother.

I suppose that would make sense, though I honestly never heard of that being a common opinion among doctors. Maybe it's a local thing for your country, or I'm just out of the loop.
It's not a "common opinion". It's more of a saying. And it's not local to my country.

Or Orpiment, Realgar, Uranium Orange, Lead White, Vermilion, Antimony White, Barium Yellow, Naples Yellow, Cadmium Chromatics, Chromium Chromatics, Radium Paint, Umber (both Burnt and Raw), Alizarin Crimson, Paris Green, and so many more. THERE ARE SO MANY HIGHLY TOXIC PAINTS.
As it turns out, brightly-coloured things in nature turn out to be toxic!

There's many bright colours that aren't toxic; the problem was fixing those colours in the dye forms that we use and the use we have for dyes primarily being for fabric. The terms for these issues, and why these toxic dyes were used, are "stability" and "lightfastness". An unstable pigment could split or change colour over time, and if it isn't lightfast then it will fade quickly with exposure to light; many reds fade to a very faint pink, for example, because they aren't lightfast. As example (source):

Very minor nitpick: on page 29, "paintings" is plural but the sentence uses "it" later on; to be grammatically ideal, both should be either singular ("a painting", "it") or plural ("paintings", "them")

More importantly the medical terms (very likely the hardest part by far) are still top-notch accuracy

lol yeah that large painting was creepy. I agree that it was in bad taste. But hey! It's art!
It also was rather odd, the whole point was to be the world as the artist sees, which is warped and distorted, which isn't really depicted in that image, probably the manga artist being told draw something twisted and morbid and not understanding the task.
