Summary: 


Try the Sector 12 General Hospital books by James White, such as
STAR SURGEON (the first, I think), MAJOR OPERATION (the best, I
feel), AMBULANCE SHIP, STAR HEALER, etc.  He proposes a fragile
race of human-sized insectoid beings from the low-gravity world
of Cinruss, one of whom, Dr. Prilicla, is a regular in the series.

I always liked White, though he's waxed formulaistic in his
later books.  His short story TABLEAU from his collection THE
ALIENS AMONG US is one of my all-time favourites.  His books
are published by Del Rey in North America and Corgi in England.
White lives in Ireland.
