CALLING DR. CONWAY. . . There was a lot of talk about the vital importance of his new assignment, but it still seemed like a demotion to Senior Physician Conway. After twelve years of outstanding service--and the most incredible experiences imaginable--Conway couldnt quite appreciate the "honor" of becoming an ambulance attendant at this stage of his life. True, the insectile empath, Dr. Prilicla, would be with him--and so would the eminently desirable Nurse Murchison--but it was definately a comedown for a Senior Physican of his status to be conscripted as part of a first-aid team for disabled spacefarers. Then the first call came--and Conway faced the problem of treating a spaceship crews mysterious ailment. . . without wiping out every patient and doctor in Sector General! A GRIPPING NOVEL OF A FUTURISTIC HOSPITALS BATTLE TO CONTAIN A POTENTIALLY DEADLY EPIDEMIC. . .
