The medical detail is really interesting if you like space (cannot vouch for scientific accuracy.)  There's a lot of engineering info too, though I found that less engaging.  

But, to enjoy that you have to plough through ongoing and tiring sexism.  Our MC actively assesses every woman he meets in terms of whether she is beautiful or useful.  Yes, this is an older book, but it wouldn't have been a huge stretch to do better -- it's the 80s, not the 50s.  At least there are women characters, I s'pose ... don't read this for ethnic diversity or any mention of anyone not cishet.

Read if you want a historical view of the technical possibilities around building a hospital in space.  Avoid if you want much of a plot or realistic / diverse human relationships.
