(1933-    ) UK doctor of medicine, co-founder and long-time editor of the literary magazine Ambit, and author. In his sf novel, The Hospital Ship (1976), which has more than a passing resemblance to the Narrenschiff or Ship of Fools, a group of experimental doctors sail the world's oceans after a Holocaust, applying triage techniques to the surreal world they find: curing those they can cure, stashing those they definitely cannot in the ship's mortuary, and applying a variety of techniques, many sexual, to the in-betweens.
