The doctor in charge of medical care for 12,000 New York City jail inmates abruptly resigned last week after questions arose about his professional certification, forcing city officials and executives at the company that employed the doctor to race to find a temporary replacement.I like the metric that the contracting company uses for whether they are delivering good medical care: Hown many inmates have died. That's sort of like a mechanic bragging about his skills because the cars he works on aren't scrapped right away.
The doctor, Trevor P. Parks, resigned on Wednesday, a day after a reporter called the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which oversees the delivery of medical care to jail inmates, with questions concerning Dr. Parks’s board certification for internal medicine.
Meanwhile, over at the state level, the operation of the juvenile detention system is so shitty that four of the prisons are being subjected to a Federal consent decree. 26 "youth facilities" (ie, prisons) and the state doesn't employ a single full-time shrink.
