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 couldn't 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 crew's mysterious ailment. . . without wiping out every patient and doctor in Sector General! A GRIPPING NOVEL OF A FUTURISTIC HOSPITAL'S BATTLE TO CONTAIN A POTENTIALLY DEADLY EPIDEMIC. . .
