This puzzle is all about ablaut reduplication and combines my passion for linguistics with some medically themed clues. Unfortunately, I had not realised that Allen had written a puzzle using a similar mechanism to connect-the-dots to derive an answer (see 1.1. Goals of Care A). I think my puzzle’s better though!

(Allen's note: I got there first Dan, and also my puzzle is clearly THE BEST 😤😤)
