Incomplete

The article is currently focused on medical fiction starting with the advent of TV series, I'd guess in the 1980s. It is still short in even that regard, but also lacks a general historical overview as well as the importance of novels in general. I think those books found by Kmhkmh could help with that, if anyone would like to expand the article:

• Surawicz, Borys; Jacobson, Beverly (2009) Doctors in Fiction: Lessons from Literature. Radcliffe Publishing, ISBN 978-1-84619-328-6
• Scott, Philipp A. (1992) The medical research novel in English and German, 1900-1950. Popular Press, ISBN 0-87972-552-4, especially pages 1-2.

Subgenres discussion

Hi all,

Wouldn't medical fiction be considered a subgenre of science fiction? I would suggest removing that from the page. Also, I believe it might be better to condense the first example to just the hyperlinked Medical romance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cladelli (talk • contribs) 09:55, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
