Closest real world example that is famous would be Leonardo da Vinci notes and blueprints . It is not feasible to test during his time and it took centuries before the concepts within are tested. Some pass ,other pass but impractical as there are other better and some failed.

In this manga, My guess , it will be like Da Vinci's notes.

Are you being intellectually dishonest on purpose or is that just your default attitude? They didn't. His own father was outraged at the idea, threatened him with magic. Until it became clear he's under some sort of supernatural influence. Even then the only reason he relented was because he himself knew the woman was as good as dead anyway and he himself (as her physycian) would have to take the hit for it, possibly along with the rest of his family - it would have made little difference if the kid screwed up. Is this the logic that does not make sense to you?
Firstly his father had attacked because of both suspecting Farma's medicine and that Farma wasn't truly his son, especially when seeing his notes. And even then, he didn't persistently reject Farma's idea. Not to mention, you just said it yourself that supernatural influence played a part, which wouldn't always be a case in our society, as instead that would be a surefire way of making someone think that you're crazy and shouldn't be handling medicine in the first place.

Second, did anyone besides his father try to stop Farma when he went to administer the medicine to the Queen. Because if we go by your logic, the whole room would've swarmed the kid to get him away from the Queen regardless if she were as good as dead. After all, like the father said, no one wants the Queen to suffer further humiliation.

But they didn't. They allowed him without showing opposition, and allowed him to show his abilities and listened to his explanation.

So the point goes back to, there isn't any reasonably functional society in our world that would've allowed that, even if the gifted child had their parent's go-ahead. So the fact that you're still trying to apply logic like that, almost 60 chapters later is silly, especially when such logic never applied in the first place.

You're the only one insistant on doing a one-to-one commparison to RL, I'm just saying that a society with magic in it (especially limmited as it is here) does not run on magical thinking, unless of course it's an abysmally writen work. Therefore, seeing your son displaying the markings and ability of the medicine god your family has revered for who knows how long should at least make you pause in your judgment that he's gone bonkers, don't you think?

You haven't read the chapter carefully enough. Everyone on the scene was convinced that the MC was simply allowed to administer the medicine made by his father. The head physician said as much and Bruno came clean only to him. This is further backed by the fact that the reward for curing the monarch (the new territory) was given to Bruno, for appearences sake. So no, they didn't allow him anything beyond a fancy - let the kid be the one to give the already measured out doses. It might even be seen as Bruno trying to soften the incoming blow to his family: punish me for this failiure, but the child just wants to help, you saw how happy he was to give her the drugs.

Man you literally just proved my point. Divinity and magic carries far more weight than people's pride, meaning that there was never going to be an issue with the MC getting his reforms going.

Not to mention that he already has both the Queen's blessing and the head physician; meaning that no one would actually dare challenge him.

I'm pointing out that you mentioning the series glossing over one circumstance is silly because such things never mattered in the first place, and have already been glossed over in favor of things that were more valued.

There's literally no way to verify such things without establishing the fundamentals first. Actual chemistry, microbiology and honestly far more other disciplines than it's practical to list. All of those also need the technological background that allowed them to develop IRL, otherwise the verification would literally just be "trust me, bro". The MC is already stretching suspension of disbelief by somehow knowing how some of that technology is made, despite that not being something a pharmacologist would learn. The 200 years is a conservative estimate for that world's scholars to develop all that by themselves.
Actually it’s not that much, most of the basic medical knowledge can be verified by a basic science of 19th century. Farma can just write Chemistry 101 book and Advance Anatomy book that would probably advance the medical field by 100-150 years.

The anatomy part is far easier to verify, the chemical part… a bit trickier.

If you haven't noticed, he just did and it's lead to this very point :pacman: . Your point about 19th century is only true because the relevant fields and technologies (like microscopes) have began being developed in the 17th century. In this world that began NOW, if you can consider the MC dumping the knowledge on them development.

"Wow my lil bro must really be a genius, to come up with all these technology, techniques, and language all on his own on the spot and turn it into a book complete with never before seen methodology which is more than 200 years ahead from out own!"

Really now, is his dad the only person in the whole story, and maybe perhaps the queen, who figured out that the real Falma got replaced?
