James White is one of the few writers of Medical SF (other major ones
include Alan Nourse & Murry Leinster's "Med" series).  His Sector General
stories are set in a multi-multi-species (& environment) hospital set
between galactic arms.  Often the problem is to figure out what is normal
for a new species before one can heal it.  His alien species do suffer a
bit from the "man in a rubber suit" too-human characterization, but the
species are interesting (and mostly plausible) and the stories are well
constructed and compentently written.
