The hospital has been a place of insertion of psychoanalysts in listening to the subject and the discomforts inherent to this context. Working in the hospital has provided us with the care of women-mothers who present us with clinical situations that circumvent the logic of a praxis that specifically addresses the experience of the disease and the treatment. Listening to women-mothers led us to the question surrounding the evocative and scopic drive in maternal improvisations in front of a child. We present a clinical case that intends to provoke a discussion about being available to listen to the subject and the (un)certainties and (im)perfections of being a woman-mother in the face of the hospitalization of her children and sustain the possibility of an analytical work in health institutions. Listening to women-mothers in the hospital has indicated and confirmed that motherhood is not enough to cover the structural lack of the subject, being necessary to be sensitive to listen, interpret and intervene on what each woman can say about what she supposes the other questions her and the possible elaborations about her femininity and the place represented by her children. Finally, it is pointed out that the presence of the analyst in the hospital can promote the well-meaning of the subject’s relationship with his desire, making him take responsibility for that which causes his suffering and his symptoms.
