A review by surlygrrrl
The Hospital Suite by John Porcellino

3.0

More like 2.5. The bulk of this was unbearable for me (a person who has lived with anxiety, depression & suicidal ideation for 40+ years). Too much woo & god/religion & apparent ignorance of the placebo effect, before he finally figures it out. Therapy actually helps?? A combination of meds might work?? Whodathunk?!? UGH. Also, even before the pandemic I would’ve told any therapist who so much as suggested I touch a city sidewalk & then my face to fuck right off. That’s just nasty. I’m glad John was doing much better by the end, but HOO BOY was this a frustrating read.
