[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are always very long waitlists for in patient psyche treatment. Always.  Attributing that to APS distance learning is a misleading leap. But that is consistent with the way open schools now advocates employ data. [/quote]

It is insincere and scammy. [/quote]

Peds ER here. We usually can find a temp bed for kids in normal times until one opens up nearby. We are now sending kids about 600 miles away before we find a spot. The bigger issue though is setting kids up with a provider after presenting in crisis. That is almost impossible to find in a timely manner even where the family has the means to pay. [b]Much younger patients are presenting with suicidal ideation than I’ve ever seen.[/b] [/quote]

I teach in a school in the area that is and has been fully open in person. Some of the strongest advocates for opening were nurses and pediatrician parents, who have seen the many harmful effects on the children.

That is heartbreaking.[/quote][/quote]

???  I don't know a single doctor or nurse, pediatrics or otherwise, advocating for schools to open.  All the doctors and nurses I know are refusing to send their kids to school in person.[/quote]

I have a friend who is a psychiatrist on staff at one of the big regional hospitals.  When someone comes to the ER with a mental health emergency and is put on a 72 hour hold, this is the person who evaluates and treats them.  At the start of the pandemic, she was very against schools reopening.  Since they, while she has not provided me with specific information (for obvious reasons), she has come around to feeling that it is critical to reopen schools for in-person learning based on what she’s seeing at work.  That worries me a lot.[/quote]
