Sector General is a 1983 science fiction story collection by author James White and is part of the Sector General series. The book includes four stories.
Stories "Accident": A major accident at a multi-species spaceport inspires the two heroes who ended the human-Orligian war (MacEwan and Grawlya-Ki) to found Sector General. "Survivor": A giant snail spacewreck survivor transmits pain and fear while unconscious. "Investigation": A spacewreck scene seems to indicate amputations from each victim, causing ambulance commander Fletcher to suspect cannibalism. "Combined Operation": The scene of a spacewreck contains hundreds of pods, which turn out to be a colony ship carrying the last survivors of an alien race.
Reception Dave Langford reviewed Sector General for White Dwarf #95, and stated that "its foundling, and ever-intuitive Dr Conway struggles with three implausible new varieties of alien patient."
