You may think that cardiology and science fiction do not have anything in common. Well, they do come together in the person of physician and SF author Henry G. (H. G.) Stratmann, MD. No, that does not mean he specializes in treating aliens with heart problems. However, if a Time Lord or other extraterrestrial with an unconventional cardiovascular system ever comes to his office, he will be ready. Henry can call on knowledge and experience he has gleaned from reading SF most of his life, writing SF for Analog Science Fiction and Fact, and over forty years as a cardiologist to deliver the best medical care possible.

Take a moment to peruse his website. You will learn how he became a science fiction writer, and read about his latest book, Using Medicine in Science Fiction: The SF Writer’s Guide to Human Biology.
