Murray Leinster’s Med Service series features Calhoun, a medical officer who travels between colonized planets dealing with outbreaks, biological warfare, and medical emergencies. The series combined Leinster’s interest in science with adventure storytelling.
The Mutant Weapon (1959) and This World Is Taboo (1961) were early entries, followed by Doctor to the Stars (1964) and S.O.S. From Three Worlds (1966). Med Ship (2002) is a collected edition. The series imagined an interstellar health service long before such concepts became common in science fiction.
