Blog 15: Revision of CATW 2

     The article "The woman who died in the waiting room" by bjeneen interlandi, was talking about a 49-year-old woman, who died in one of the largest psychiatric hospital in brooklyn the article clearly explained the sate of the woman, and how she was reacting to her mental illness, which was captured by the security camera in the waiting room. at that stage, but no one came to help her, but when she was dead, thats when help came, and they found out that she was bleading.
     the idea that is most important to me is that with just 50,000 inpatient psychiatric beds for tens of millions of people across the country, the mentally ill typically wait twice as long for treatment as other patient population do, which means that the governement, who are people that controles what happens in the country , are forgeting about the poor, and the mentally ill citizen. to avoid this case from repeating it's self, the government, should provide more psychiatric hospital in the country since it has more mentaly ill patient than any other patient populationhas. for instance i have a friend how was  mentally ill and went to the psychiatric hospital several times but couldn't be treated because of the large population of people he finds there there any time he goes there, but at last he was finally able to see the psychiatric doctor who told him that if he had came early, he would have been treated quick and saved alot of money, so he ended up paying extra for his treatament
     the case of late miss esmin green wa a sad and disturbing one but we learn from our mistakes, so i want the government to take that case as a mistake and try to improve or provid more public psychiatric hospital all over the country.
