"It's difficult, to say the least… we wake up every morning or night, we work 12 hours to 16-hour shifts to help people help the most vulnerable in our society, help our sick patients in underserved communities, and we get abused," Mora told Todd Piro on Monday. "And these things just fall under the guise of mental health disorders, and they're kind of ignored."
"These people need to be institutionalized if, in fact, they are mentally disabled, not back on the streets," she continued.
