We need to train more doctors and psychiatrists.
If the youth have the aptitude to be a doctor then we need to make sure that poverty, etc, does not stop people from becoming doctors. If they have what it takes to be a doctor or a psychiatrist then we need to make sure that they are able to succeed.
And we have homeless people who have potential who can help other people after they are helped, they can manage homeless shelters, they can be crisis intervention specialists, they can be van drivers, etc, etc, etc, and some can become nurses, and doctors, and psychiatrists, etc.
I have a friend who is a doctor, she is an Oncologist, but when she was a teen she was a homeless prostitute who was addicted to heroin, she joined Narcotics Anonymous and she got clean, and then she got back into school, and she stayed in school and she worked hard until she became an Oncologist. Now she has a beautiful home on the beach in Huntington Beach and she has a wonderful family with a handsome son, she is very grateful.
If people have what it takes to become a doctor or a psychiatrist, then we need to make sure that they succeed, regardless of their past situations, etc. We have a huge shortage of doctors and psychiatrists and we need to train more people, if they have the aptitude then we need to help them to reach their potential.
Salute,
Tony V.
