Thanks for the link to this article. It truly is excellent. I really wish there was SOMETHING we could do to help stop this crisis.
I know in our town a dentist started a company who takes ONLY children on medicaid. It became so busy he opened offices in 4 or 5 other towns. ALL of the locations are busy. I only know so much because his father in law and my mom worked together.
Since there is such a lack of child psychiatrists, isn't there some way to do appts over the internet with video cameras and teleconferencing in the pediatrician's office? So the psychiatrist could see the parents and child, but it would save everyone the commute time and probably save the psychiatrist time also. Just a thought.
Anyway, this is a very thought provoking article.
