@KevinMulhall @DavidNHackney @Allprettypups You do realize it takes money, time, and connections to “just” go to another state. You might want to sit this one out if you can’t be constructive.

@KevinMulhall @DavidNHackney @Allprettypups Telling someone to just travel out of state is not helpful unless you first connect with resources and ensure that your patient is safe. It’s not as easy and simple as you seem to think.
