homeless dumping
homeless dumping
The premature discharge of indigent patients onto the streets by hospital workers or care providers, due to the high cost of providing care or shelter for them. A local hospital is being investigated for a continual practice of homeless dumping, with many who suffer from chronic addiction and health issues being thrust straight back onto Skid Row. If we send this guy back onto the street, it would just be homeless dumping. Let me see if I can at least get him a bed at a local shelter. This man is not well! How can you justify discharging him so soon? "Homeless dumping"?
