Medical association feels uncomfortable around mentally ill people. So much for trying to "get rid of the stigma".

Multiple coworkers of mine have been assaulted in that area. And from the article:

> It didn’t help that one board member had been assaulted near Moscone Center last year.

It's not just a stigma. It's not safe.

Getting stabbed for drugs/money isn't part of their job description.
