I don't buy this theory. People may have come asking the gods to give them good health among other things but I doubt this was the primary purpose of the stones. The fact,as mentioned by the proponents of this 'hospital' idea, that the people in nearby barrows suffered ill health is fairly irrelevant. Pretty much everyone suffered some form of ill health in the neolithic/bronze age--tooth absess, arthritis,rickets, injuries and so forth.
