Physician Victoria Sweet’s new memoir “God’s Hotel” details her experience working at the unique Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, which cares for hundreds of elderly and disabled adults. Sweet has been working at the hospital for more than 20 years.

Her book describes not only her experiences with patients, but expounds on the practice of “slow” medicine, which gives doctors that precious commodity often missing in today’s health care system: time.

Guests:

Victoria Sweet, author, associate clinical professor of medicine at UCSF and a physician at San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital
