TOBY YELLING AND MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES OVERSIGHT COMMISSION.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND PHOEBE'S
**** -- USE FROM ALCOHOL PROGRAM
SO JOURNAL TO MY WITNESSES.
MANAGER HELLO -- I'M PHOEBE ****
AND I'M A RISING SENIOR GOT HIGH
SCHOOL IN PALO ALTO -- FRESHMAN
YEAR I USED TO FALL ASLEEP
READING ARTICLES ABOUT WHAT
HILLS WOULD BE LEGAL.
OR WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE UNDER MY
PILLOW JUST IN CASE THINGS GOT
TOO HARD TO HANDLE.
IT FELT LIKE A SECURITY BLANKET
HAVING THE CONTROLLED END IT ALL.
AS A YOUNG PERSON AND AN ADULT
DOMINATED WORLD I AND MANY OF MY
PEERS FEEL LACK OF CONTROL OVER
ABUNDANCE OF FACTORS IN OUR
LIVES.
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH FREEDOM
WHEN INDEPENDENCE AND ADULTHOOD
LOOMS AHEAD ASKING FOR HELP
FEELS LIKE A STEP BACKWARDS?
I'VE GROWN UP FORTUNATE SO WHEN
I STARTED FEELING DEPRESSED I
FEEL GUILTY LIKE I DIDN'T
DESERVE TO FEEL THE WAY THAT I
DID.
BUT THE LONGER I HELD IT IN
[inaudible]
THE MORE.
THE MORE A GOTTEN GOTTEN -- MY
GRADES STARTED TO SLIP SECOND
SEMESTER OF MY FRESHMAN YEAR.
AND SCHOOL STRESS ISOLATED ME
FROM REALITY.
THEN I STARTED GETTING
VALIDATION FROM A BOY TWO YEARS
OLDER THAN ME -- IN A WORLD
WHERE GRADES DISPLAYED WORTH I
FELT LIKE MORE THAN THAT TO HIM.
AND THIS IN SECURITY AND BLIND
TRUST ME TO BE IN A BATHROOM
WHERE I WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED.
BY THE TRUSTED PERSON I TRUSTED
THE MOST.
HE LEFT ME AND I FELT HUMILIATED
I FELT LIKE MY ONLY OPTIONS WERE
TO STRUGGLE THROUGH IT ALONE OR
KILL MYSELF.
BECAUSE REACHING OUT WOULD MEAN
SURRENDERING ANY FREEDOM THAT I
DID HAVE.
AFTER GETTING HOSPITALIZED IN
PROCESSING WHAT I'D BEEN THROUGH
WITH A NEW THERAPIST I HAD A
NEED TO CHANGE OUR SUPPORT
SYSTEM FOR YOU.
ALL CO HELPED ME FIND MY CONTROL
AGAIN.
IT GAVE ME HOPE THAT OTHER
ADOLESCENTS WHO FELT LIKE I FELT.
CAN GET HELP AND THAT SELF
AWARENESS AND REACHING OUT FOR
SUPPORT WOULD BE TREATED AS A
SIGN OF MATURITY AND STRENGTH AS
OPPOSED TO WEAKNESS.
I NEEDED A SPACE THAT WASN'T AT
SCHOOL A PLACE I COULD GO TO TO
BE VULNERABLE.
NOT FEEL LIKE A LIABILITY ISSUE
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT I
WOULD HAVE GONE TO ALTHOUGH IF
IT WERE BEEN IT'D BEEN A
POSSIBILITY FOR ME.
BUT HAVING THAT SAFETY NET AND A
RESOURCE TO TURN TO BEFORE
RESORTING AND SUICIDE NEEDS TO
BE AN OPTION FOR OUR YOUTH.
THANK YOU.
MEDICARE MEMBERS TOBY OWING THEY
TAKE A DIRECT MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES OVERSIGHT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY COMMISSION I'D I
DON'T THINK I WAS PREPARED TO
SIT NEXT TO TV TODAY.
AND SO I WANT TO THANK HER FOR
COMING AND SHARING THAT STORY.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT -- FROM THE
COMMISSION'S PERSPECTIVE WE HEAR
FAR TOO OFTEN.
THAT YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T FIND THE
SERVICES THEY NEED DESIGNED IN A
WAY THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR
THOSE NEEDS AND WHO THEY ARE.
IN THE COMMUNITY SYSTEM THAT WE
HAVE -- THE COMMISSION IS
SPONSORING THIS LEGISLATION
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IT IT
INTENDS -- TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM
BY STARTING WITH THE NEEDS OF
YOUNG PEOPLE.
AND MAKING FUNDS AVAILABLE IN A
STRATEGY AVAILABLE TO ENSURE
THAT OUR SYSTEM IS.
ASKING YOUNG PEOPLE WHAT THOSE
NEEDS ARE HOW TO DESIGN SERVICES
IN WAYS THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR
THOSE NEEDS.
AND THAT THAT THAT WE CAN
DELIVER A RANGE OF SERVICES THAT
ARE TAILORED TO THEIR INTEGRATED.
AND THAT HAVE THIS THE
TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL THAT WE'VE
SEEN IN OTHER COUNTRIES TO
RESULT IN THE KINDS OF OUTCOMES
WE NEED IN CALIFORNIA.
NAMELY THAT WE HELP PEOPLE WORK
THROUGH THE ISSUES THAT ARE
AFFECTING THEIR BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH.
THAT WE RECOGNIZE HOW IMPORTANT
IT IS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO
FIND THOSE SOCIAL SUPPORT IN
THOSE NETWORKS TO FIND
EMPLOYMENT.
AND BE SUCCESSFUL WE'RE VERY
EXCITED ABOUT THIS LEGISLATION
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

EIGHTY TWO IS THE SORT OF THE
SECOND HALF OF THE USE MENTAL
HEALTH EQUATION.
THIS BILL WILL BOLSTER MENTAL
HEALTH PARTNERSHIPS. TO MAKE
SURE.
SCHOOL OF CHILDREN RECEIVE HELP
AND SCHOOL SETTINGS -- 50% OF
ALL LIKE TIME CASES OF MENTAL
HEALTH BEGIN BY AGE FOURTEEN
AGAIN.
SO AT LEAST 50% OF OUR TENSION A
RESOURCES.
PROBABLY SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON
YOU.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
GIVING SCHOOLS.
THE RESOURCES THEY NEED.
SO THAT YOUTH AND SCHOOL
SETTINGS HAVE MENTAL HEALTH
SUPPORT.
ALSO I MIGHT ADD THE TEACHERS
SHOULD HAVE.
SUB SUPPORT.
IF YOU EVER HEARD FROM TEACHERS.
THAT TEACH TEACH IN CLASSROOMS
WITH MAYBE ONE OR EVEN TWO
STUDENTS WITH A BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH PROBLEM.
IT WILL DISRUPT THE WHOLE CLASS.
SO THEY NEED SUPPORT.
TO AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
OUR SCHOOLS -- HAVE THE
RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED SO
YOUTH IN SCHOOL SETTINGS HAVE
THAT SUPPORT.
THIS MENTAL HELP TRIAGE FRONTS
ARE INTENDED TO HAVE A FOCUS ON
YOUTH AND CHILDREN BUT THE
MAJORITY THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN USE
ACTUALLY FOR ADULTS NOT CHILDREN.
IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING.
THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND
OVERSIGHT ACCOUNTABILITY
COMMISSION HAS BEEN WORKING. TO
CORRECT THIS INDIRECT -- MORE OF
THESE GRANTS TO PROGRAMS THAT
SERVE YOU.
SB.
FIVE EIGHTY TWO REQUIRES THAT
50% OF THE BILL HELP TRIAGE
FUNDS BE ALLOCATED TO THE YOUTH
PROGRAMS.
THE FUNDING INCENTIVIZE IS
COUNTIES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
PARTNER.
AND INTEGRATE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES IN THE SCHOOLS.
AND WE EXPECT THE POOL OF
APPLICANTS TO SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT
NEED AN INTEREST IN A GREAT.
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THE
SCHOOLS.
NOW FOR EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE
CORE DEMANDS.
RECENTLY.
IN LOS ANGELES.
WHAT TEACHERS WERE THEY WERE ON
STRIKE AND THEY WANTED TO
PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
ON SCHOOL SITES?
WHAT THEY CALL COMMUNITIES BASED
SCHOOL SO THEY HAD A?
THEY SAID WELL WE'RE HAVING
OVERCROWDED CLASSROOMS WE NEED
HELP.
IN THE CLASSROOM WE LIKE TO HAVE.
SOME SUPPORT. FOR US TEACHERS.
IN THE CLASSROOM AND WE THINK
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS TO HAVE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
PROGRAMS. TO HELP US DO A BETTER
JOB TEACHING.
THE BILL ENJOYS SUPPORT OF THE
MAIL HELP PROVIDERS AS LONG AS
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS AND ALL TURN OVER
TO OUR WITNESSES AND TURN OVER

HEARING GUT WRENCHING STORIES OF
RELATED TO ANXIETY DEPRESSION.
TRAUMA SUICIDE IDEATION.
I'LL JUST QUICKLY SHARE A FEW OF
THE STORIES SOME OF THEM ARE
RELATED TO ANXIETY LEVELS
REACHING THE POINT OF TEMPORARY
PARALYSIS.
SOME OF THEM ARE RELATED TO TO
STUDENTS ATTEMPTING TO COPE WITH
THE LOSS OF FRIENDS AND WILD
FIRES.
AND FAR TOO MANY OF THEM
TRAGICALLY ARE ARE RELATED TO
YOUNG CHILDREN -- COMMITTING
SUICIDE -- IN IN WHAT'S BECOME
VERY CLEAR IT SET SET TO US AS
AN ASSOCIATION IS THAT THESE ARE
NOT HAPPENING IN ISOLATION --
WITH THE THEY'RE NOT EXCEPTIONS
TO THE RULE -- THE THE THESE ARE
BECOMING THE NORM UNFORTUNATELY.
I MEAN WE REALLY BELIEVE THAT
SCHOOLS ARE IN A PRIME POSITION
TO TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS.
OF OF STUDENTS TO MENTAL HEALTH
NEEDS OF STUDENTS.
ON WALL EDUCATORS ARE WELL
INTENTIONED -- STUDENTS NEED
DIRECT ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS -- IN THIS BILL
WILL WILL HELP ACHIEVE THAT --
WE WE BELIEVE THAT.
THE HIGHER PRIORITIZATION OF THE
USE OF THE FUNDS WILL BE TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MENTAL
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN SCHOOLS.
THE NUMBER THE AMOUNT OF TIME
THAT STUDENTS SPEND ON CAMPUS
ALLOWS MENTAL PROBLEM HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS DEVELOP WITH THE
TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS -- WITH
WITH KIDS -- BUT ALSO IT IT'S
ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY.
AND FAR TOO OFTEN COMMUNITY
BASED SERVICES AREN'T ACCESSIBLE
PARTICULARLY IN RURAL AND REMOTE
AREAS -- WITHIN YOUR SERVICE A

THE COMMISSION HAS DONE A NUMBER
OF THINGS AS SENATOR BILL POINTS
OUT TO A LINE THE DOLLARS THAT
ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE WITH
THIS GOAL WHAT SB FIVE EIGHTY
TWO IS IS PUTS THAT IN STATUTE
PROVIDES SOME ADDITIONAL
FLEXIBILITY. TO USE THESE FUNDS

AND IT REALLY CREATE SOME
INCENTIVES TO STRENGTHEN THE
OPPORTUNITIES BETWEEN COUNTIES
AND SCHOOLS THAT WE CAN DELIVER
CARE IN WAYS THAT ARE VERY
MEANINGFUL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
IT IS AS THE SENATOR SAID IN

ABSOLUTELY -- THE BILL DEFINES --
YOUTH -- S. U. D. TREATMENT
SERVICES TO INCLUDE ANY PUBLICLY
FUNDED DIRECT SERVICES INTENDED
TO ADDRESS OR TO TREAT AS YOU
DIS -- FOR INDIVIDUALS FROM
BIRTH TO TWENTY SIX YEARS OF AGE
CALIFORNIA'S MADE NUMEROUS
ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEX
NOT OF ISSUES RELATED TO MENTAL
HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
AND THE OUR SYSTEM AND PROGRAMS
DON'T SEEM TO ALWAYS CARRY OUT
OUR INTENTIONS -- WE SEE THE
RESULTS AROUND US ON THE STREETS
AND OUR SCHOOLS AND IN CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM.
MULTIPLE STUDIES HAVE
ESTABLISHED THAT ADOLESCENTS ARE
MORE VULNERABLE THAN ADULTS TO
ALCOHOL CANNABIS TOBACCO AND
OTHER DRUG RELATED PROBLEMS.
SERVICES FOR YOUTH NEED TO BE
INTEGRATED AND WRAP AROUND --
AND ARE NECESSARY TO SERVE THE
YOUTH MOST IN NEED WHEREVER THEY
ARE IN THE COMMUNITY.
I WHETHER IT'S ON THE STREETS IN
A HOMELESS SHELTER OR IN A
FOSTER CARE OR GROUP HOME OR IN
SCHOOLS.
THIS BILL SEEKS TO ADDRESS ALL
OF THESE ISSUES THROUGH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS YOU
TREATMENT STANDARD FOR CHILDREN
ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS BY
SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSING THEIR
NEEDS.
AS DIFFERENT AND THIS DISTINCT
FROM ADULTS -- BY DEVELOPING A
NEW METHODOLOGY FOR CARING FOR
OUR YOUNGER POPULOUS POPULATION
WITH ME TODAY HAVE DR -- TìM
SIR MACK -- FORMER PRESIDENT OF
THE CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF
ADDICTION MEDICINE AND VOTED I
SAY THAT RIGHT I HOPE.
I WAS I CLOSE.
WHY?
WHY VOTE A SANTA CLARA COUNTY --
PSYCHIATRIST AND THERAPIST AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK WHEN I BUT WHEN
YOU HAVE A CORPSMAN CAN VOTE.
WELCOME DOCTOR SEARCH SERMON.
WELCOME.
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TO TESTIFY HERE
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON TRYING TO
CREATE A SYSTEM.
INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR A
TREATMENT OF ADOLESCENTS
SUBSTANCE USE.
SINCE -- TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN
WHEN I WROTE TO YOU FIRST --
FOUR THE CAL FOR CALIFORNIA
SOCIETY OF ADDICTION MEDICINE I
WAS I CHAIRED THE YOUTH WORK
GROUP FOR THE BLUE RIBBON
COMMISSION.
ON MARIJUANA POLICY AND IS AND
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR NEWSOME AND
I HAVE -- I'M THE AUTHOR OF THE
MODEL SET OF STANDARDS FOR A
USED TREATMENT -- FOR THE
CALIFORNIA SOCIETY OF ADDICTION
MEDICINE I BROUGHT COPIES -- FOR
FOR THE MEMBERS HERE -- THIS IS
WHAT STANDARDS COMES DOWN.
TO WE NEED A INTEGRATED
CONTINUUM OF CARE A SYSTEM OF
CARE.
IF WE DON'T HAVE STANDARDS THEN
THE PROGRAMS THAT GET FUNDED
WILL BE PROGRAMS WHICH ARE --
BROUGHT TO US BY -- PRIVATE --
TREATMENT CENTERS BY PREVENTION
ENTREPRENEURS BY DIFFERENT --
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND WE
WILL END UP WITH A COLLECTION A
A FRAGMENTED COLLECTION OF
SERVICES FOR YOUTH.
WE NEED TO TAKE THE MONEY THAT'S
AVAILABLE THROUGH PROP SIXTY
FOUR AND YES PDT AND MENTAL
HEALTH.
ARE COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH AND
CREATE AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM THAT
STARTS IN THE SCHOOLS.
WHO IS -- STUDENT ASSISTANCE
PROGRAMS THAT HAVE STANDARDS
PROGRAMMATIC STANDARDS AND
STANDARDS FOR OF THE SPECIALTY
TRAINING OF THE COUNSELORS.
WITH THAT'S WITH THE
PRETREATMENT HAPPENS THAT'S
WHERE THE EDUCATION THE
PREVENTION AND THE AND THE EARLY
INTERVENTION HAPPENS AND THEN WE
NEED VERY CLOSE LIAISON WITH
COMMUNITY BASED CENTRES.
WHICH WILL DO THE ACTUAL
TREATMENT THE EVALUATION TO SEE
IF TREATMENTS NEEDED THE
INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT
THE ON GOING OUT PATIENT
TREATMENT -- AND ESOS COMMUNITY
CENTERS IT SHOULD HAVE SPECIAL
LEAVE OUT REACH FOR SCHOOL
DROPOUTS FOR TREATMENT DROP OUTS
FOR HOMELESS YOUTH.
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT A
SYSTEM OF TREATMENT FOR
ADOLESCENTS HAS TO BE SEPARATE
AND DIFFERENT FROM ANY TREATMENT
FOR FOR ADULTS WHY DOES IT HAVE
TO BE DIFFERENT. FOR SAFETY
PURPOSES -- IT PEOPLE EARLY IN
ABSENCE WHO ARE FOURTEEN YEARS
OLD AND IT CAN'T BE PUT TOGETHER
WITH PEOPLE OR TWENTY TWO YEARS
OLD WHO WERE -- EARLY IN ABSENCE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE BEST
BOUNDARIES SAFETY IS ONE MAJOR
REASON WE NEED TO HAVE -- IT
SEPARATE BECAUSE THE THE
TREATMENT GOALS ARE DIFFERENT
FOR USE YOUTH ARE.
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN YOU'RE
TWENTY TWO TO THE TREATMENT GOAL
IS TO LAUNCH FROM YOUR FAMILY
WHEREAS WHEN YOU'RE FOURTEEN
IT'S TO RECOGNIZE YOUR
DEPENDENCE UPON THAT FAMILY.
WE HAVE TO HAVE MUCH MORE
INTENSE FAMILY AND FROM OF
TREATMENT IN ADOLESCENCE CENTERS
BECAUSE A LOT OF THESE -- USE
ARE IN FAMILIES WERE TRYING WAS
NOT IN THE PAST IS HAPPENING
CURRENTLY WE NEED HIGHLY
SPECIALIZED TRAINING THAT YOU
DON'T NEED TO HAVE IN ADOLESCENT.
TO OUR I MEAN INTO DON'T
TREATMENT BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BE
SENSITIVE TO ALL OF THE
PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IS
HAPPENING IN ADOLESCENCE.
I BELIEVE WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION
WE HAVE A AN INDUSTRY RIGHT NOW
WHICH IS LEGAL WHICH IS SELLING
MARIJUANA.
THAT INDUSTRY SHOULD BE
OBLIGATED TO HELP PICK UP THE
COST OF REMEDIATION FOR ANY
DAMAGE DONE BY THEIR PRODUCT.
AND THAT MEANS PROP SIXTY FOUR
FUNDS ALONG WITH THE OTHER FUNDS
NEED TO BE SIR OF NEED TO BE --
UNDER RATING PROGRAMS WHICH BY
STANDARDS HAVE TO BE INTEGRATED
INTO AN ON CONTINUUM OF CARE
FROM SCHOOLS. TO THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY BASED TREATMENT THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.

WITH EXTENSIVE TRAUMA TRAINING
FOR OUR CLINICIANS FOR OUR

OF ORGANIZATIONS CALIFORNIA
CONSORTIUM OF ADDICTION PROGRAMS
AND PROFESSIONALS AND WITH ME
TODAY FROM THAT ORGANIZATION IS
SHERRY DAILY.
HI WHO WILL PROVIDE SOME
CLARIFICATION ON THE BILL AND
ITS PURPOSE.
I WILL CHAIR MEMBER SURE DAILY
WITH CALIFORNIA CONSORTIUM OF
ADDICTION PROGRAMS AND
PROFESSIONALS I GUESS THE BEST
WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE BILL
DOES IS TO GIVE A PRACTICAL
EXAMPLE SO A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO
I PRETENDED TO BE A LOVED ONE
LOOKING FOR CARE. FOR MY
FICTIONAL DAUGHTER WHO AND
FICTIONAL OPIOID PROBLEM I
GOOGLED LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO WHEN
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR TREATMENT
ADDICTION TREATMENT AND MERCED
CALIFORNIA.
WHAT I GOT WAS A LONG LIST ON
ALL GOOGLE SEARCHES AS IS USUAL
I'VE NOR THE ADS AT THE TOP OF
THE PAGE AND I PICKED THE ONE
THAT HAD A PICTURE OF A
TREATMENT CENTER THAT I WAS
FAMILIAR WITH?
A CENTRAL VALLEY RECOVERY
SERVICES BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY
FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS FELT
FAMILIAR WITH IT CLICK ON THAT
PICTURE AND IT TOOK ME TO A NEW
PAGE.
I'M NOT PAGE IT LISTED FOR FIVE
PLACES IN MERCED THAT I COULD
CHOOSE FROM.
AND HAD LITTLE MORE INFORMATION
NEXT TO THEIR PICTURES SO I
PICKED THE ONE CENTRAL VALLEY
RECOVERY SERVICES THAT I KNEW
ABOUT.
IT OPENED A NEW PAGE IT SHOWED
THE OUTSIDE OF THE FACILITY A
PICTURE OF THE DIRECTOR SOME OF
THE STAFF ALL OF THE AMENITIES
WHAT SERVICES WERE OFFERED WHAT.
INSURANCE THEY TOOK WHAT
NATIONAL CERTIFICATIONS.
THE PROGRAM HAD CURRENTLY HELD
AND ACROSS THE TOP OF THE PAGE.
THE NUMBERS WAS ANEIGHT HUNDRED
NUMBER TO CALL FOR HELP AND ON
THE SIDE.
WAS AN INFORMATION FORM TO
SUBMIT MY INFORMATION FOR
IMMEDIATE CONFIDENTIAL CALL BACK.
SO I FOLLOW THE REBEL HOME
CALLED THE EIGHT HUNDRED NUMBER.
THE PERSON IN JASON ANSWERED THE
PHONE AND ASKED IF I HAD A LOVED
ONE WHO HAD AN ADDICTION PROBLEM
AND I SAID YES.
ALL HE WANTED NOW WAS OR GENDER
HER AGE.
DRUG OF CHOICE IN MY INSURANCE I
GAVE THAT INFORMATION I THINK I
MENTIONED.
AN INSURANCE COMPANY WITH BLUE
AND THAT HE WAS QUITE EXCITED HE
PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THERE
WASN'T ANY ROOM IN MERCED.
THAT HE COULD GET ME TO A
TREATMENT PROGRAM AND EITHER
FLORIDA SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I
BELIEVE ORANGE COUNTY --
MICHIGAN HE THEN OFFERED A FREE
PLANE TICKET TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER
THERE HE DIDN'T ONCE ASK WHAT
HER CONDITION WAS WHAT SHE SAFE.
HAD SHE SEEN A DOCTOR WISH YOU
IMMEDIATE DANGER.
AND I SAID WELL WE'RE JUST
TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW HE
CONTINUED WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE
PRESSURE SALES ROUTINE TO TELL
ME THAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE MY
DAUGHTER INTO TREATMENT.
BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND SHE
WOULD DIE.
