Dr. Victoria Sweet author of "God's Hotel" @Larkspur Library

On Thursday, January 30 @7:00, Dr. Victoria Sweet, will speak about her


book at Larkspur Library, "God's Hotel: a Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart


of Medicine". Dr. Sweet is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine


at the University of California, San Francisco, and a prize-winning


historian with a Ph.D. in history. She practiced medicine for twenty


years at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, where she began


writing. In God’s Hotel, she lays out her evidence—in stories of her


patients and her hospital—for some radically new ideas about medicine


and healthcare in this country. In our attempts to get control of


healthcare costs by privileging “efficiency,” she suggests, we’ve been


headed down the wrong path. Please RSVP to 927-5005 or library@cityoflarkspur.org.
