Meggie, it is completely unreal. They didn't totally turn her away. At first they seemed to take it seriously, but the doc they saddled her with didn't seem to get it ... obviously. I'm at a loss.
A hotline isn't a bad idea, but they seem to be staffed by teenagers, which is great if you're a teenager, but not so great if you're a grown woman in crisis. It's certainly not the answer for a doctor to give someone in Sherri's position.
I didn't think they could turn someone away under those conditions, either.
Many hugs,
