As a senior citizen In Rhode Island I will comment on one " service "
that definitely needs improvement: transportation of elderly without
private means of transportation for hospital or doctor office visits. A
friend and neighbor had to give up driving soon after being diagnosed
with a form of bone cancer( related to breast cancer ). She is very
frustrated with inadequate -and often rude and unprofessional- state
transport service. The Cancer Society depends on volunteers that may or
may not be available on a particular day.
If she takes a RIPTA bus to Miriam Hospital, she would have to walk- exhausted- up a steep hill. Too many " responsible " officials in Rhode Island have eyes that don't see, ears that don't hear, hearts of stone that don't feel.Too many doctors are also clueless about the patient's personal situation- with the exception of INSURANCE.
Otherwise Rhode Island is a mess.
