Jim White’s wonderful space hospital stories are in one of the most benevolent interstellar settings in SF. Lots of fun. Recommended! #SectorGeneral; #ScienceFiction; #JamesWhite!

Good god, how do medical charts work? Do you have to have a different hardcopy for each written language? Does #SectorGeneral have some logographic or semasiographic system independent of spoken language? ARE THERE TYPEWRITERS.

Anyway! Blah blah establishing shot { [f]ar out on the galactic Rim, where star systems were sparse and the darkness nearly absolute } etc., etc., oh, look, welcome to #SectorGeneral, where we've admitted a half-ton unconscious patient of unknown species!

Well, anyway, there you have it! Possibly the WORST #SectorGeneral story, replete with crab boners and TWO ENTIRE female characters! YOU'RE FUCKING WELCOME

Somebody at #SectorGeneral has the job of constructing detailed synthetic models of various sapient organisms for practice surgery?
WHY THE FUCK AREN'T WE READING ABOUT *THAT* GUY?

So yeah, flashback over, and Conway's got an ELNT Educator Tape in his brain so he can lecture these visiting ELNT aliens on the new Artificial Pancreas Installation Project somebody somewhere on #SectorGeneral has pioneered

Flashback to O'Mara's office! O'Mara does some perfunctory yelling at Conway, and then they exchange pleasantries, which in #SectorGeneral means they exposit to each other about how the Educator Tapes work. I'm trying to learn the etiquette, so let's do this!

No, yeah, that's where we start. We open (well, after the boilerplate establishing-shot paragraph explaining #SectorGeneral) with Conway humansplaining craboid diabetes to a bunch of craboids. One of them is a female!

... And we go from one of my favorite stories to possibly THE WORST #SectorGeneral story. It is so bad it doesn't even get to be in an omnibus.
...Okay, I have no idea why "Countercharm" ACTUALLY didn't make it into an omnibus for so long, but JESUS, y'all. THIS FUCKING GUY

But like I said, the mysteries themselves were pretty good! And we've finished the first book! Tune in next time for Book 2, where White makes another political statement! Till then, adieu from #SectorGeneral!

This is a weird thing about the stakes of #SectorGeneral stories: they're rarely simply "How can we save this patient?" White doesn't seem to think that's quite enough dramatic tension on its own, and tends to add more, usually in the form of O'Mara yelling

Thus, they have a reputation for being huge assholes. In the #SECTORGENERAL UNIVERSE.

From a purely alien-medical-mystery point of view, this is probably one of my favorite #SectorGeneral stories. There are two mysteries that need solving here, and they're both interesting, offering up some good clues about their solutions, and the alien biology is fun

Donald Trump is notorious for not paying his bills, though, so if you want to tip me for blowing the lid off #SectorGeneral, here you go!

They stroll or hover down the corridor talking idly about how these FROB kids aren't VERY sick but they're here while #SectorGeneral tries to develop broad vaccines because only a total lunatic would NOT want to vaccinate their kids against common illnesses that can turn deadly, AHEM,

While they're touring Reception, they hear about an unusual-sounding visitor--some kind of shapeshifting amoeboid. Conway is shocked at this announcement! #SectorGeneral doesn't allow visitors!

Prilicla is also an empath. There's a distinction made between telepathy and empathy in #SectorGeneral, both in definition (telepathy is, I guess, linguistic content; empathy is feelings) and in range (telepathy is narrow-spectrum and often species-specific; empathy is broad)
