Inferno is the most well-known volume of Dante's Divine Comedy. But the second volume, Purgatorio, is about a long-suffering climb up the mountain of Purgatory. Purgatory is often marked in people's minds by its in-between status, waiting to advance to paradise. Are we in the Inferno or Purgatorio right now? I know I am trying to take breaks from this Pandemic by watch #vanlife on YouTube. I mention Luca and Sara in Italy in this episode.
A long-suffering wait on earth can also be found in the court system. Despite the way that hour-long television dramas and feature-length films may feel, courts move slowly. And sometimes it is caregivers who are in a kind of Purgatorio in the court system. This episode looks at the feelings of a nurse as she experiences being named in a lawsuit. In this episode, I quote an Italian proverb: "A lawsuit is a fruit-tree planted in a lawyer's garden."
