[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a healthcare professional, this is infuriating. If the government actually wants to get involved in [b]"helping" the homeless with mental health issues they would invest money into our abysmal mental health system. [/b]I have patients waiting days, if not weeks, on holds in the ER waiting for inpatient psych beds. It's a completely inappropriate place for them because they are not getting the care they need and the atmosphere is not helpful. And it takes up resources that we don't have. [/quote] Of course but this takes time. Curious why you think your patients waiting for an inpatient psych bed should receive one over a homeless person who is determined to need a psych bed? [/quote] I don't. The point is we don't even have enough beds for the patients we already have and haven't for years. And now we are going to have even more needs. [/quote]
