The eminent psychiatrist who was killed by a patient is being mourned in all circles. Check out this blog entry from the Treatment Advocacy Center (TAC). TAC also quoted Dr. Fenton:

"All one has to do is walk through a downtown area to appreciate that the availability of adequate treatment for patients with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses is a serious problem in this country. We wouldn't let our 80-year-old mother with Alzheimer's live on a grate," he said. "Why is it all right for a 30-year-old daughter with schizophrenia?"

He was a remarkably empathetic man whose devotion to the cause never flagged, even in the face of difficult cases.
