Author's notes

It may come to no surprise to you that the idea behind this puzzle set came to me while I was covering oncology on my current haematology rotation (Allen's note: Hey Dan, are you on a haem term atm????). I particularly enjoyed the fact that “the definitive cure for cancer” was TURMERIC, which was also evidenced by the turmeric-coloured squares used to the indicate the answer to this puzzle.
