Letter: More help needed for vulnerable patients
I would like to know why doctors do not really care enough about their patients.
The mentally and physically ill, poor and homeless get left by the wayside.
I guess it all comes down to money or what kind of expensive health insurance you have.
The doctors do not listen. A 15 minute appointment is not enough. All they do is hand out a bunch of pills. I have seen this time and time again. The mental health clinics and regular clinics and ERs I found are no help either.
After almost 20 years trying to find help for my son, he finally took his own life 9 mo. ago.
I found one doctor that was willing to listen and try to help my son, but by then it was too late.
