Explore "Med Ship Man" by Murray Leinster on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
His work was healing the sick -- but / this planet was already dead!
Calhoun regarded the communicator with something like exasperation as / his taped voice repeated a standard approach-call for the twentieth / time. But no answer came, which had become irritating a long time ago. / This was a new Med Service sector for Calhoun. He'd been assigned to / another man's tour of duty because the other man had been taken down / with romance. He'd gotten married, which ruled him out for Med Ship / duty. So now Calhoun listened to his own voice endlessly repeating a / call that should have been answered immediately.
