In the passage "The Women Who Died In The Waiting Room" By Jeneen Intetland, Esmin Green was a patient in a waiting room at the Brooklyn's lasrgest psychiatic hospital. Nobody was looking out for herin her time of need, when she had hopelessly fallen of her chair, she was twisting and turning for 20 minutes but it didn't help her. A nurse walked into the waiting room 40 minutes later and saw that Esmin Green was on the floor and wasn't moving no more, the nurse checked if Esmin was okay by lightly kicking her, the nurse found out Esmin had died. Esmin Green was in a room with security cameras, nobody had bothered to check on her or how she was doing. It was a surprise to them for how she died, the City Medicals had examined her blood and found out that she had bloog clots. This is what lead to her death.
The quote that i chose to do was, "public hospitals across the country have struggled to provide actue psychiatric care to the poor and uninsured since the early 1960's". I chose this quote because some how i feel as if brings it all together. There are tens of millions of people that need treatmennt, with only 50,000 beds across the country. There are poor, uninsured, undocumented people that have health problems and alot have chronic conditions, if they dont have what is needed like insurance or money they can't be treated. Another reason for why i chose this quote was because if they were able to provide psychiatric care to the uninsured, por, and undocumented Esmin Green would not have died because they would get cared for, and nurses will check on them.
I wonder, would it of made a difference if Esmin had money or insured? would they of taken care of her faster if she did. i think that someones health is something that you should not play with because anything could kill you and if you are able to help someone you should. i think that insure or health care is something that should get offered to every one no matter how wealthy they are or if they are poor.
