Abstract:
A primary care physician meets a new patient who has an intellectual disability and is suicidal in the wake of the death of her elderly parent who served as her caretaker. As their physician-patient relationship evolves, the physician comes to wonder at the health care system's failure to anticipate and take steps that would propagate a safe transition in care for adults in similar circumstances.
