How to go about writing a medical manuscript?
I am pursuing my research in epilepsy that has been enjoyable but still a challenge. I understand that to leave a mark, educational qualifications are not as important as research papers are. In light of this notion, I want to prepare a manuscript on my work and get it published in a reputed journal. My difficulty is that I have never written a manuscript before, which is why I need help for writing one.
How should I prepare a medical manuscript and what process must I follow of getting it published?

You are right, having published research papers are real assets and essential for us scholars. A medical manuscript is as good as any other, having major headings of introduction, methods and materials, results and discussion, and conclusion.
I found this post, which addresses the medical field and though it might be of some use.

What I understand is that first, you should contact the medical journal where you want your paper published. Most of the journals usually have a set standard for their papers, where they specify the all the requirements and format of the paper. From there you can get a clear idea of what is needed from you. Prepare a draft and then mould it in the required format.
