Social worker doesn't want to do her job....

[fireheart17]

Strangely enough I always thought Australian had good health coverage. How does one miss someone being so suicidal that multiple attempts were made and they still don't get help? I'm still trying to figure out the logic where they admit to being liable but that she didn't need to be admitted.

UK not Australia.

In Australia, if you are a suicide risk, you aren't sent home until you're medicated or you have a follow up appointment with a doctor (and you keep it). I ended up having a home visit from a social worker at one point (not as scary as it sounds, they just wanted to do a risk assessment on me and also asked me what I wanted from them)

Also, they had a Tim Horton's inside the hospital ( Seriously ). Because Canada. >.>

The first time I went to a hospital with a Timmie's I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. REALLY not the best feeling when you are in an ER.... >_>

If it weren't for the ER people and the police both stating she needed psychiatric help, I would be concerned she didn't properly explain herself. I have had friend with psychiatric conditions who took a long time to diagnose because they either weren't explaining themselves right, or the intake nurse/psychiatrist/social worker didn't ask the right questions.
