title: The moon has four phases and that's what worries me.
abstract: The values held by health care administrators and inherent in the operation of the institution are of primary importance to the ministry of pastoral care. This narrative/story provides a case history in which the author recounts how these values change as administrators change. The results suggest that these values constitute one of the hidden variables that influenced the questionnaire results reported earlier in this work.
