I don't know if 'desperate for help' is quite the right phrase, but they knew at the time they shouldn't turn down any offers -- even if they had to hold their nose when taking it.

Graham sure didn't take long to show his colors. And I'm glad they were explicit in expelling him.

@RichCC "shouldn't turn down any offers" is just flat wrong, though. As proved by Graham.

@1of5 I detest the phrase 'Don't let the perfect ruin the good', but if the choice is whether or not to send suffering patients out the door?

My question is if Graham would provide any beneficial care with his garbage. I have to doubt if his group has even minimal competence.

@RichCC that's the point. He wasnt offering to help, he's broken promises like this before - the fact that he had to promise to begin with should have been enough of a red flag.

@1of5
So he wasn't offering cots(warmth) and food to his patients? If that were true I'm surprised he allowed, let alone asked, TV crews into his tents.

I don't know much about homeless care in New York but I bet it's not comfortable.
There again, if the choice is between just-a-little vs nothing-at-all...
They're running Graham off now that they can.

@RichCC he was, with an illegal price tag. Because they weren't holding the signed waivers in front of the cameras, that's why.

These people don't ask for permission, only forgiveness after the fact when the damadge had already been done.
