Fix-up novel: 'Resident Physician' (see under Short Stories) and Field Hospital. The blurbster has it: "Sector General is a mercy station -- a place where all kinds from all worlds are welcome. But for the first time, the hospital is threatened by creatures too different its purpose, and so powerful that they can cause utter havoc!" The Etlan DBDG invaders take much the same attitude towards Sector Twelve General Hospital that Margaret Thatcher did to the British National Health Service. And, to paraphrase Chief Psychologist O'Mara, Dr Conway not only stops the war but also gets the girl (Nurse Murchison).
