Victoria Sweet's new book, SLOW MEDICINE, is on sale now!

For readers of Paul Kalanithi's When Breath Becomes Air, a medical page-turner that traces one doctor's remarkable journey to the essence of medicine (The San Francisco Chronicle).

San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital is the last almshouse in the country, a descendant of the Hôtel-Dieu (God's hotel) that cared for the sick in the Middle Ages. Ballet dancers and rock musicians, professors and thieves--anyone who had fallen, or, often, leapt, onto hard times and needed extended medical care--ended up here. So did Victoria Sweet, who came for two months and stayed for twenty years.
