It a patient is going lose it, it is going to be when they are depressed, down on their luck, just got dumped etc.

I just go back to a post by Jayems on Page 3 of this thread:

It was only open for a week (or so) and yet it still had that kind of affect on the area. Sure the people want to help themselves, and I applaud them for it, but come on. Locate the clinic in a proper area away from kids, away from homes, away from vulnerable areas.
In this case it isn't NIMBY, it's NIABY - Not in Anyone's back yard. It only makes sense.
