SUMMARY - The Revolving Door: Emergency Rooms, Jail, and Back Again

A person in mental health crisis is taken to the emergency room, stabilized over six hours, and discharged with a list of phone numbers to call in a system where no one answers - then returns in crisis two weeks later, then again, then again, the emergency room becoming revolving door that treats acute symptoms without addressing anything underneath.
