Both men had histories of psychiatric problems and are expected to recover. The poison center’s director, Gaylord Lopez, said he did not know if the men guzzled the chemicals because they heard about President Donald Trump’s statements during a Thursday White House briefing, when the president wondered aloud if coronavirus could be treated by injecting a disinfectant into the human body. Since the pandemic began, at least two other Georgians have fallen ill from similar attempts to clean their inner organs with household chemicals, even before Trump’s remarks. Georgia has also seen a rise in cases of children ingesting chemicals because their parents, distracted while working from home, left them unattended around unsecured bottles of fluid and medicines, Lopez said. Overall, poison calls have risen 9 percent this year. https://is.gd/bBFVjP How come their mental health care professionals failed them? That the Georgians had "histories of psychiatric problems" doesn't mean they had treatment or the sort of treatment they needed, especially if they are indigent and in a Southern state. Hell, Bilious, you aren't indigent and you live in a wealthy state...why haven't you received the psychiatric help you so obviously need? The state Medicaid programs pay for the treatment. But maybe like you, they get the lower tier professionals. Your assumption that indigent people get decent care paid for by Medicaid for mental health issues speaks loudly to how little you know. A small number may, no question about that, but most do not. In addition, some states have waiting lists more than a year long. I am not sure how Maryland is doing but if someone gets "Baker acted" here, they will see a doctor. If they actually want help it is usually available (mostly drugs) but most people check themselves out the next day and don't want any help or they just take their bottle of pills and go. |
