Lee Correy (pseudonym for scientist/engineer G. Harry Stine) has written an interesting novel about the woes of practicing medicine on a space station. Dr. Tom Noels had to set up a clinicl and treat the workers building a space station in geosynchronous orbit. His job was to treat the injuries that occurred during construction and try to keep the fatalities to a minimum to avoid the project being shut down. There were no text books for practicing medicine in zero G so he was in virgin territory and had to invent treatments and procedures as they occurred. As a physician, I found the book fascinating because simple procedures like starting an IV and running IV fluids have to be recreated in zero gravity. ( )
