> I work with many American clients with psychiatric problems who receive no health insurance from their employer, aren't indigent enough to qualify for Medicaid, and the public mental health system is woefully underfunded at the county level. They have no choice either.
I went to a county pdoc for a year or so, he was a really strange guy but an ok doctor. The thing that got me was when I stopped taking a med I was supposed to return the remainder so they could give it to somebody else. I was always wondering who, if anyone, had the pills I was taking before me, it kind of freaked me out actually.
From what I've read on the med board my experience with the county might still be a step up from the situation in the UK.
