Motherhood and Doctorhood. After my 21-year-old daughter died in my own hospital, I was stuck in memories of both beauty and horror. To move forward, I needed to understand events. On the way, I lost faith in my profession, my hospital and myself. I discovered a new way to look at hospital systems that brought healing and peace. It's not pretty but it is beautiful.
