Webtoon's Dr. Kim of London is about a modern-day Korean surgeon being reincarnated in 19th century England and having to deal with lack of sanitation and public amputations and other such barbaries. This puts it in the same third-time's-the-genre as the manga Jin (modern day Japanese surgeon in 19th century Japan) and the K-drama Faith The Great Doctor (modern day Korean surgeon in 14th century Korea).

I love me a good "let's science the shit out of this" story and both it and its medical-historical subgenre need names. Any ideas?

I've always called it heroic engineering and also love it!

It's yours if you want it!

I borrowed my "let's science the shit out of this" moniker from The Martian (2015), in case you haven't seen it.

Yes! I just recently read Project Hail Mary, actually.

I had no idea that the kdrama 'Dr. Jin' was based on a Japanese manga!

I think it's extremely funny that sending doctors back to the historical past of their own countries to be doctors is no longer enough, now we have to send them to the worst place we can think of .... NINETEENTH CENTURY LONDON.
