一篇名为《星际中继站医疗诊所欢迎您》的科幻黑色幽默故事已收录于《2017年最佳美国科幻和奇幻作品集》，由霍顿米夫林哈考特公司于2017年10月出版1。故事以位于土星与天王星之间轨道上的星际中继站医疗诊所为背景，讲述一位患者前来就诊的荒诞经历1。
患者因被未知昆虫咬伤而就医，伤口处出现紫色肿胀1。患者编号为283，诊所等待时间为6小时1。故事采用多路径选择冒险形式呈现患者的求医过程，诊所内出现包括土卫六泥猴、天王星Doodoo生物等多种外星物种1。无论患者如何做出选择，多数故事路线最终都导向死亡或毁灭结局，讽刺了官僚体系的无效性以及医疗系统的失职1。
A science fiction dark comedy story featuring a medical clinic aboard an interplanetary relay station has been published as part of an anthology collection 1. The narrative follows a patient seeking treatment for injuries sustained from an unknown insect bite that resulted in purple swelling 1. Set at a facility located in orbit between Saturn and Uranus, the clinic serves a diverse population of extraterrestrial species, including Titan mud monkeys and Uranian Doodoo creatures 1.
The story employs a multi-path branching narrative structure in which patient number 283 faces a six-hour waiting period at the clinic 1. Regardless of the choices made throughout the plotline, most story branches culminate in death or destruction, serving as a satirical critique of bureaucratic ineffectiveness and systemic medical failure 1. The work was included in "Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2017," published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in October 2017 1.
