While I'm enjoying discussing this and very much enjoying all the responses, I find I cannot actually make heads or tails of what I think yet.
Your links are brilliant - especially because those two posts make it clearer that everyone is as confused as I am and that John's CV is complete BS. It's almost like they were trying to get across what John can do because unlike any others of its kind it lists out stuff he can identify/treat, but at the same time it's so shoddily slapped together it makes it hard to take any part of it seriously.
It sort of makes me angry that we authors care so much about portraying the characters accurately that we're meta-ing up out the arse while the person who was actually paid to type and print out John's CV apparently couldn't be arsed to google the correct format for John's CV.
