In reply to Two interesting Psychiatry articles in Salon, posted by Abby on May 26, 2000, at 18:21:33
Thanks for the heads up, Abby.
I read the article about psychiatric care in emergencyrooms. I had trouble finding the articles at WBUR, so I went to salon.com.
Anyway, I thought this was a good article, and glad to see the issue being raised. This paragraph intrigued me:The National Center for Health Statistics charts health in the
United States in so many ways the mind reels. It can tell you
that the percentage of impoverished Mexican children with
untreated cavities has doubled in the past 20 years. But it can't
tell you if those with mental health disorders are receiving better
or worse care, dying more or less than 10 years ago when the
safety net became unhooked.
BTW, I know the author. Ain't that a small world.
