From: Morris M. Keesan <keesan@BBNCCI.ARPA> The book Dean Sutherland asked about which "is set in a far future Earth whose sole export . . . is its medical technology" is "Star Surgeon" by Alan E. Nourse. I have no idea if it's still in print. I first read it in a hardcover edition borrowed from the library manymany years ago. I own a paperback copy which I bought around 1972, which I think was published by the Scholastic Book Service. I think there's another book of the same title by either Leinster or White, which this one is not to be confused with.

[] _Star Surgeon_ by James White was published in 1963. This book is also about extraterrestials in hospitals. It is the second in a series of three books, the first one titled _Hospital Station_. The third title I have forgotten, but the books are highly recommended! Kees Huyser VU Amsterdam (the Netherlands)
