put anybody in charge of the hospital at a particular moment, and maybe they could make a little bit better decision, but fundamentally, because they were in that role, they were making the decisions they made; it wasn’t ad hominem. I think that’s part of it. You’re the interviewer and I’m the interviewee, but somehow we could just switch—opposites could just switch. There are these roles to be played. works: As if we’re all on pilgrimage?
Victoria: Yes, that’s it.

I read "God's Hotel" last year and loved it so much I got the audio version and enjoyed listening to her read it even more. I'd heard of her through relatives of one of her patients back in the early 90s and used to pass Laguna Honda on the bus several times a week. She may often think "what would Hildegard do?" but other doctors would do well by us if they thought "how would Dr. Sweet handle this?"
I love the idea of this type of medicine! Where can I sign up?
I read the book, "God's hotel" and I wondered how things would change with the new "improved standards" facility. Better for the inspectors apparently but not the patients or the staff. As usual we've swapped technology for actual face to face caring.
