We've got a pretty good protocol for rolling people off services that we know are pretty emotionally damaging to mitigate this. The problem is that we can't really roll people off dealing with covid patients during these surges. It's all hands on deck.

Yup. Junkies are turning to really insane methods to be admitted.

We pretty much know the junkies in town, and most of them show up an LBJ or Ben Taub. They are contained and thus, not really that big of a deal for the med center's 21 hospitals.

Oh, we have tons of repeaters. We're also seeing idiots smoking blunts soaked in formaldehyde and ant killer. Idiots snorting home made methamphetamine with battery acids and who knows what cut.
