Book Description
================

Sector General: A massive deep-space hospital station on the Galactic 
Rim, where human and alien medicine meet. Its 384 levels and thousands 
of staff members are supposedly able to meet the needs of any conceivable 
alien patient--though that capacity is always being strained as more 
(and stranger) alien races turn up to join the galactic community. Sentient 
viruses, interspecies romances, undreamed-of institutional catering 
problems--it all lands on Sector General's doorstep. And the only thing 
weirder than a hitherto unknown alien species is having a member of 
that species turn up in your Emergency Room.

*Final Diagnosis* refers back to *Star Surgeon*, which pleased me because that the first Sector General book I ever read [in 1967 or 1968, when paperbacks were only 50 cents]. If you've read that earlier book you'll enjoy reading how things turned out, and you should enjoy the book even if you haven't. Although, as another reviewer mentioned, it's easy to figure out most of what's going on that doesn't matter much. Never mind the "mystery", the book is worth reading for the characters alone.
