随便找个人在某个特定时刻掌管医院，或许他能做出稍微好一点的决定，但从根本上讲，正是因为他身处那个位置，所以他才做出了那些决定；这并非针对个人。我认为这是其中的一部分。你是采访者，我是受访者，但我们角色可以互换——截然相反的角色可以互换。这些角色需要扮演。作品：仿佛我们都在进行一场朝圣之旅？

维多利亚：是的，就是这样。

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.
