In the passage "The women who died in the waiting room" by jeneen interland, Esmin Green had been in a waiting room at Brooklyn's largest psychiatic hospital, no body was with her at her time in need when she had hopelessly fallen of her chair. Esmin Green was in a room with security cameras, no one had kept an eye on her, no body bothered to check on how she was doing. she had been trying to twist and writh for 20 minutes but it didn't help her , a nurse had walked into the waiting room after 40 minutes and had seen that Esmin Green wasnt moving no more she had checked by lightly kicking her. she was already dead by that point.
It was a surprise to them for how she had died, the city medicals had examined her blood and found out that she had blood clots in her legs which had been the cause to her death. psychiatric care was something that was hard to provide for poor, uninsured people in the hospital across the country. alot of people that are poor uninsured and undocumented have trouble with their health alot of people have chronic conditionns but because they don't have the money they can not be treated. there are tens of millions of people that need treatment with only 50,000 beds across the country.
I feel as if the authors main idea/point is when she says "public hospitals across the country have struggled to provide acute psychiatric care to the poor and uninsured since the early 1960's i think this is the mian idea because if they were able to provide psychiatric care for the poor esmin Green would not of died. for another reason i think that was the main idea was because if they offered that care for the poor , security and nurses might actually keep an eye on them see if they are okay
