A shameful situation going on in Texas. GruntDoc comments:
“The only solution, Evans said, is to stabilize people in emergency rooms until a psychiatric hospital bed can be found.‘No one hates this more than we do,’ Evans said.”
Oh, I’d bet you’re wrong there, Mr. Evans. The patients will hate it, their families will hate it, the entire staff in the ED now caring for a patient they’re not equipped to deal with and cannot disposition will hate it more, and longer, than you.
