...while waiting for a bed at Mississippi State Hospital or after they returned home from psychiatric care without follow-up. The town's only private psychiatrist has just retired and can't find a replacement willing to move here. At the town's well-intentioned but underfunded mental-health clinic for indigents, the staff turnover is 100% annually, mostly on account of burnout. One psychologist and two counselors divvy up the 200-plus "consumers" in Adams County. For many, the extent of therapy is little more than a weekly or monthly visit for their pills or shots...

In Dr. Darryl Chutka's classroom, the 10 first-year medical students look a little different from what you might expect. They're all wearing goggles coated in a clear film, ear plugs, heavy rubber gloves, extra-thick socks. They also have marshmallows stuffed in their mouths, corn kernels scattered inside their shoes, stiff, confining braces around their necks...
Another issue students say they have with MHS is the clinic's penchant for prescribing pills...
