A 17 year old from El Salvador came to Clínica Médicos on a Saturday complaining of chest pain. His physical exam and ECG were normal. When we dug deeper, we learned that he was displaced from his family, living alone, working to support himself, and on the brink of suicide. We connected him to a Spanish speaking counselor and started appropriate pediatric medications, with daily follow up, at no charge to insure his safety and build trust.
