Blumlein Tissue Ablation and Variant Regeneration. maybe others as Blumlein is a doctor of medicine. Alan Nourse Medic. Kuttner The Little Black Bag.
Perhaps a bit peripheral: Harry Turtledove invented vaccination in one of his Byzantium books. John Varley's Steel Beach (i think) turns on the death of an infant. Anthony's Prostho Plus stars a dentist.

Elizabeth Moon has a space-paramedics short story in the Phases collection: "ABCs in Zero G". I remember liking it; I haven't reread it to see if I still think it's good, sorry.
Bujold's Ethan of Athos and Falling Free both have strong themes of reproductive medicine and related genetic manipulation. There's a fair bit of medicine as background / secondary detail throughout most of her work, now I come to think of it. The 3rd & 4th of the Sharing Knife series have "major character learning medicine" as a major plot thread.

Blood Music and The Child Garden might be of interest.

(Trying to think of others is hard; it's not a field that got much traction in the old days.)
