Trivia / Sector General

• What Could Have Been:
  • The author once noted that Harry Harrison once thought of doing a sci-fi hospital book, but decided against it because Sector General had already been done. He then asked that if anybody managed to go to an alternate universe where Harry Harrison thought of the idea first, would they please buy a copy of the book for him?
  • The author also noted that the series killed his ability to write other sci-fi works, because whenever he came up with an idea for an alien species afterwards, they would always end up catching something and having to go to Sector General.
