Default my son has a TBI

I don't remember if I spoke after initially joining. Things have been crazy with my son these last few months. Josh was arrested after he and his girlfriend had an argument. Her way of ending the argument was to call 911 and instead of a social worker or health care provider coming with the police, he was arrested for domestic violence. For an argument. Trying to get through to the medical staff at the jail was more of a nightmare. They don't care, you can't speak to a medical person--and I'm a doctor but that didn't even help. When I did speak with someone I tried to give pertinent medical info about his TBI and asked for the psychiatrist to see him. I was told the NP would see him and if she thought she needed the psychiatrist she would call him. I'm sorry but 2 years of NP school vs 4 years and then 5 years residency for the doc.... Anyway, he got out, lost his job, had already crashed his car, got into another argument and she called the police again. there was no physical violence of any type. I was able to talk to is public defender, a nice female who seemed to care. God bless for that. So these kinds of problems are not addressed much that I am aware of.
