Even though it’s not my department, I do receive daily updates from the hotel
about how they’re faring in there. I know how many people got in line, and how
many people were cured. Those numbers are usually quite close together, with
only a handful of people who ever have to wait until the next day. They’re
obviously marked as such, and prioritized in the morning. Delays are built
into the schedule, but it’s never perfect. In fact, if it ever gets to be too
much, Landis will work extra hours to make up for it. That’s just the kind of
guy he is. I’ve never met him. We’re worlds apart. I’m one of the few staff
members who does not have a room in the building, and in my case, it’s a
necessity. I’m on the clock 24/7, and always have to be available to the
guests. People come from far and wide to get their cure. They encourage
visitors to check into nearby hotels (which are still hotels, and not healing
foundations). For these places, that’s just about all they do. You’re gonna
have a hard time finding a room if you just wanna take a tour of the area.
They’ll ask you to find somewhere close to the city. While there’s no rule
against it for these unrelated facilities, there is one for the campground. We
will not assign you a plot if you aren’t scheduled for a healing in the next
week at the most. We understand that some people want to come early, because
they’re worried about travel delays, which is why the campground exists in the
first place, but we can’t have people living here for weeks on end. We
certainly can’t accommodate people who just want to be ready to go while they
wait for their application to be processed. I promise you, once you’re
accepted, you will have plenty of time to make arrangements for travel. There
is no such thing as a same-day appointment here. I hear so many requests for
that. Everybody wants to be bumped up the list. First of all, I don’t have
that kind of pull. I just manage the plots, and the tents for people who can’t
afford their own. Secondly, everyone in the world wants to get in on this, and
Landis can only see about 2,000 people per day. There are no bribes here.
There are no special accommodations. Everybody’s sick, we are not going to
prioritize based on need. The only fair way to do it is on a first come, first
serve basis. The amount of coordination that would go into quantifying
patients for triage is an unreasonable expectation to have for any
organization. You would be waiting for years, just like people have done for
organ transplants through conventional medicine. Is that what you want? Trust
me, it’s better if you sign up, and snag an appointment a few weeks out.
Application control comes from the scope of the application itself. If you
just have a boo-boo on your knee, or you’re unwilling to divulge your
financial situation, it’s going to slow things down. Only people who are
serious about this are going to get through, which is why the 2,000 patient
per day figure isn’t too much lower than the applicant per day figure—whatever
that is; I don’t have those numbers. I know, I’m talking a lot about things
that don’t really have anything to do with me, but that’s because my job isn’t
that hard. A lot of this is self-service. We don’t provide meals, we don’t
offer travel to and from. I’m mostly here to make sure the only people who try
to drive through that gate are authorized, and that we have enough space for
everyone. I don’t even handle security. Don’t get me wrong; it’s a lot of
work, and it gets tough in the winter, but it’s pretty straight-forward, and
far less stressful than it is for some of my colleagues. They may get to work
inside, but I wouldn’t want to field the kind of questions they get every day.
