This book tells the story of one doctor's experience of delivering medical care to those at the bottom: the poorest, people on the streets, the ones most often denied quality care. She's part of an extraordinary facility that delivers, and witnesses its loss, and tells the tender story without getting in the way. It's beautiful, often funny, insightful, sad, and an indictment of the directions healthcare is going.

Great book in many ways
This book was so good that I bought an extra copy to give to a friend. Dr. Sweet tells the compelling story of medicine and health care, and the difference. She also walks the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, and describes how that experience had a profound influence on her. Her study of Hildegard of Bingen is also profound and insightful. The book is rich in so many ways, the writing is great, and the story of Laguna Honda is one I will long remember.
