Bless those who serve in medicine and care about retaining their historic standards of "helping" regardless of the particulars. This ER had many giving people prepared to extend themselves and solve problems. It's the American way, you know. Thanks to FAIR's work on this and other threatened areas of our public structure.

There will be many more cases like these, as women discouraged from marriage and children age out alone. It’s good to hear someone went the extra mile for someone. It would be helpful to get more content on how the ideology is interfering.
Thank you. This is a wonderful read and incredibly important warning. Soon enough, there will not be room for any common sense and compassionate people in any industries. We must not capitulate to this Clown World dogma.
Wonderful story of Deb, but the article makes no mention of the types of ideological problems they are trying to solve. I would probably support such things, but have no idea what they are based on this article.
As a Paramedic in my younger days, and before that as a military medic, I often got accused of being the primary care provider to our “regulars” who called 911 often. I heard that some of these folks called 911 to find out if I was on duty and where I was….since I taught EMS and anatomy & physiology as my full time job, I would only pull a 24 hour shift 2-3 days a month. The need for “case management” in EMS (the step before they get to the hospital, or were triaged to somewhere else by having committed a crime) parallels the need in hospitals. We used to call these folks social workers, but they are in the same situation that hospitals are.
Now a Pastor, I have thought long and hard about these issues. I served an older downtown church for the last 10 years of ministry before retiering (a myth amongst clergy) and had my regular homeless folks I saw and worked with, trying to find the “Janes” amongst them. I learned that I am too easily manipulated; I trusted people too much and was often “taken” by them. I was OK with that….but….wait, this isn’t about me.
I daily pray for solutions to our homelessness and drug abuse, which unfortunately are too often related. I know that these people are exhausting, and becoming cynical is often the defense mechanism workers overwhelmed by the ones they most want to help. I have yet to devise any kind of “systems” approach to this problem. The problem isn’t money, it is where and to whom it is allocated to find ways to help people help themselves, as best they can and be safe.
God bless all of you still working on this challenging issue!
Wonderful - God bless them all!
Blessings for this good work. A Ziesen Pesach! Baruch Hashem!
