lockmat Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The report that mentioned the nine high-frequency patients didn't include reasons for all of those ER visits and didn't identify the patients because of privacy laws. But Kitchen, a former state legislator from Austin, gave a sketch: All nine speak English; three are homeless; five are women whose average age is 40, and four are men whose average age is 50. Seven have a mental health diagnosis and eight have a drug abuse diagnosis. Kitchen said she did not know their citizenship status. http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news.../01/0401er.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
