It all depends on where you go. Some places don't do shit and just medicate until stable and kick them out
You won't even tell if a home is one of the care homes for mental illness unless one of them leaves the place to go to the shops or something
Egh what's the use there
But a lot of inpatient facilities are vital in helping manage mental I'll ess
Uh huh
Illness sorry
But some of them are too violent for homes like that
Indeed
the violent ones go to sectioning
which is more or less a prison
but not as shitty looking
That's pretty much here too
High security wards
yea
That's pretty well what an asylum would be
i mean, there's different rules on your asylums and our sectioning areas
But Florida abuses the law that allows people to be held for up to three days if they are at risk for self harm
but there's similarities
Holding people for 5-6 days
Knowing the case won't go to a judge before they release them
and 9/10 times you're stuck there for life
And since in the US healthcare is not free
It is a money making scheme
healthcare is free here and that's why we're failing and hospitals are closing 🙃
my local A&E is gonna get closed meaning my nearest hospital would be an hour away
Healthcare is also failing in the US so
It's not really about public or private but about how well it is managed and the controls put in place to protect against abuse
It's failing here because immigrants are treating the sniffles like an emergency
and hogging up resources
For example - allowing anyone to walk in and get care
Here you need a card
i mean it's not just immigrants, it's also stupid cunts that think everythings an emergency but it's mostly immigrants
I mean we have that too yes
But our system certainly isn't failing because of it
Meanwhile I sprained a leg, it still hurts after a week on and off and I can't afford to go to the doctor
My husband works in healthcare - specifically educating RNs on the primary healthcare model
Legit almost fainted from the pain yesterday outside
Uh hhh
So I actually do know a little about the system, how it works, what problems there are and why for the most part those problems exist
