@ Aliylo: This is unbelievable. You built this from Scratch!?
You should take a look at this list of suggestions for polishing your article which is helpful but it really looks like you've done almost all of this. Do a final pass for typos and then make your article live. Please waste no time! This is great work! You've really done Wikipedia and the world a service here. I can't believe there wasn't an article about this! — mako ๛ 23:51, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Aliylo: You should really consider nominating this article for Wikipedia:Did you know which would put it on the front page of Wikipedia and cause lots of people to view it. Are you interested? It would need to happen in the next week but you could get help with this! WikiEd has some material on this that might be useful and they are willing to help out with the process. If you're interested, I'll ping our contact there who can help. — mako ๛ 23:14, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

QPQ: None required. |
Overall:
The article was new enough to mainspace when nominated and is easily long enough (~9,000 characters) and otherwise eligible. The article's claims are supported by suitable citations; I'll assume good faith with regard to the paywalled sources, which are substantially supported by the ones I can access.
An additional citation is needed. The content is presented in an appropriately neutral fashion, without e.g. taking one litigant's side. I don't see any signs of plagiarism from online sources; the high-scoring hits on the Earwig tool are all matches on the names of cases and institutions and other stock phrases not easily paraphrased. The hooks are both supported by citations, and ALT1 is the more interesting.
A good guideline is to try to include some sort of citation for each paragraph of text, so the article needs to make clear the source for the second paragraph of "History". Wikipedia style frowns on including
external links in the prose body of an article (except in citations), so you can just cut the sentence in "Hospital Visit/ Procedure" that reads "More details of the procedure can be found here."
This is close to meeting the standard! A little work and it should be able to run at DYK. The article is now ready to go for DYK.
