Not my favorite book in the series... but a quick and enjoyable read. It is advisable to read "Star Surgeon" (book #2 in the series) before this one as many references to events in that book are made. These references are generally accompanied by a short explanation for Hewlett so it isn't absolutely necessary to have read the prior book but I think that the reader would enjoy this book more having done so.

I really enjoyed this book but it was well padded with sections of previous novels. The bits were well integrated and seemingly necessary to the story. Now I am hoping somehow Lonvellin survived. Conway gets mentioned but is not very visible. Hewitt is an interesting character and I loved the cat Fudge. This is a fairly late entry in the Sector General series of stories from James White. Sector General is a massive spacestation that functions as a multispecies hospital, capable of treating all the species making up the population of the Federation. When Patient Hewlitt is admitted to Sector General's observation ward, it's the start of a series of problems and embarrassments for the staff of the hospital as they try and work out why he would have serious reactions to normally innocuous medicines. As the investigations continued we are treated to a tour of the various wards making up the hospital and into the past of Sector Genral. Part of the Sector General series of James White's novels. I would recommend this to someone who does not ordinarily like sci fi. The premise is a space ship that is a huge floating hospital for all species to be treated. The characters are some of the most innovative I have read. James White grew up in Belfast during the "Troubles" and was adamantly non-violent and upbeat in all his writing. His characters are fully alive and so real, you wonder why they haven't called or written in awhile. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

It's a massive hospital space station on the Galactic rim--384 levels, a staff of thousands--where human and alien medicine meet. But Patient Hewlitt, new to Sector General, doesn't want to meet alien medicine--or alien doctors, or alien nurses, or aliens of any kind. Which is just too bad; he's an interesting case, and he'll have to get used to it. In the meantime, it's always been an article of faith among Sector General's multispecies staff that infections can't pass from one alien race to another. But in this season of anomalies, it looks like they might have their first-ever interstellar virus on their hands, their tentacles, their cilla.... Combining intrigue, ingenious puzzles (and even more ingenious solutions), action, adventure and White's characteristic easy charm, "Final Diagnosis" is a science-fiction treat.
