    I went to Urgent Care because I got a cut in my hand from glass. It was pretty huge, but not bad, and I held it together with wraps.

    In that waiting room was 20 people in front of me.

    Most were disheveled. They look homeless or was struggling with mental issues.

    It is absolutely insane how little resources we dedicate to not helping people with mental issues, and so they have to use other services and end up flooding these places. And my heart goes out to them. It truly does.

    But I waited 4 hours before I got any help.
