In the Seventies I read a novel (very forgettable except for how bad it was) where a doctor had to be sent to the base on the Moon to treat an injured man (they were all men, there). After considering and rejecting several "little people" with medical training, they picked a small woman doctor because she would (just barely) fit in a cargo mission about to launch.
I remember the "blind guy maps hyperspace" novel, but neither title nor author.
There was a cheap SF movie on the Skiffy Channel about a decade and a half ago. This had a genetically engineered branch of humans called "Toolies" who were very small and also had one arm replaced with a powered multitool.
