Opinion: Psychiatrists like us cannot keep up with their inboxes
Psychiatrists — and other physicians — should be compensated for time spent responding to patient messages.
When you’re a psychiatrist, there’s no such thing as a typical day.
But if you’re working in a clinic setting (like one of us, Jessi, is currently, and the other, Simone, has done previously), one thing is for sure: You’re busy. And it’s not just about seeing patients — it’s the seemingly ever-increasing electronic messages.
