Do public hospitals really care about patients or any injured person in need of attention? In "the Woman who Died in the Waiting Room" by Jeneen Interlant, explains a situation that have happened to a woman named Esmin Green. Esmin Green have felling out of her chair at a Brooklyn's psychiatric hospital. Esmin writhed and twist between two chairs under an watchful security camera try to draw attention for hep but that didn't help. Although two security guards and two staff members passed through the room, they have not bother to check to see if Esmin needed any help. Moments later she has stopped moving, Esmin have died. The writer mentioned " public hospitals across the county have struggled to provide acute psychiatric care to the poor and uninsured since the early 1960s".
I believe that the hospitals across the country should be able to provide psychiatric care to those who are in need in attention, whether they are poor/uninsured or insured. The reason public hospitals should provide care to the uninsured and poor because if they don't, they would most likely be left for dead. For example, if an poor man was in need of special attention, and was taken to psychiatric hospital, was told to wait in the waiting room for a long period of time.m what happens if he is not attended to in time? The reason his is isn't able to get help, is because he has no insurance and everyone else is being served before him.
I feel that there would be no point in going to an hospital for help if you aren't going to receive any , due to the fact you are not insured. By going there will be considered killing yourself because by time you are ready to be treated it will be to late.
In conclusion, the write Jeneen is trying to say that public hospitals should take more action into their patients, whether they are poor /insured or not. Many ill patients could be offered a place in society than being locked out from uncaring institutions.
