Letter: More help needed for vulnerable patients

Oct 16, 2021

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.
