SLOW MEDICINE

THE WAY TO HEALING

A radical new understanding of how medicine is best practiced, from the award-winning author of God’s Hotel.

Over the years that Victoria Sweet has been a physician, “healthcare” has replaced medicine, “providers” look at their laptops more than at their patients, and costs keep soaring, all in the ruthless pursuit of efficiency.
