Ambulance Ship

To Jack Cohen
Who is a stickler for xenobiological verisimilitude,
In appreciation

Senior Physician Conway wriggled into a slightly less uncomfortable position in a piece of furniture that had been designed for the comfort of a six-legged, exoskeletal Melfan, and said in an aggrieved tone, 'After twelve years' medical and surgical experience in the Federation's biggest multienvironment hospital, one would expect the next logical step up the promotional ladder would be to something more prestigious than...than an ambulance driver!'

He smiled suddenly, and added, "It must be ten years since I last set a fractured DBDG tibia."
