Author's Website: I don't think she has one, but her lj has links to her various stories at Area 52 (slash archive) and Scientific Minds (Sam/Daniel)
Link to Story: http://remix.illuminatedtext.com/dbfiction.php?fiction_id=364
Why This Must Be Read:
This fic was written as a remix challenge of another story, "Bedside Vigil" by Hathor, but you don't have to read the original tale to get engrossed in this one. (In fact, I read them in reverse order–and recommend them both, heh, two recs for one!).
Minxy instantly transports you to the familiar halls of the SGC from a little heard from perspective, Janet Fraiser's. Her character's voice is clear and strong. The physical movements and sounds minxy describe in such detail both echo and counter the multitude of thoughts in Janet's head. At first it is unclear from minxy's tale who is injured (obviously an SG-1 member–as well as SG-3), but for Janet, it doesn't really matter. She'll do everything she can to help.
Particularly moving is the routine procedure of putting on/taking off surgical gloves. Somehow minxy has injected emotion in this basic act. It encapsulates the story and the character profoundly.
In short "Bedside Manners" is a lovely tale and an interesting character study of Janet, both as professional and person. Definitely a must read for anyone who loves great writing, genfic, or Janet.
ETA: I forgot,_minxy_ also did a "dvd commentary" of her writing process of "Bedside Manner" in a live journal entry
