Mental Health Hotline

December 22, 2009 By Chris Nickson View Comments

Unfortunately, there simply are not enough psychiatrists in the world.

Psychiatric consultations are renowned for being interminably long (at least through the eyes of an attentionally-challenged ED doc) and, afterward, a life story needs to be obsessively written down in Tolstoy-esque fashion. To make matters worse, psychiatrists really hate interruptions. This is understandable, after all, the slightest interruption can be be a roadblock to effective communication and has the potential to completely derail the therapeutic relationship…

It is no wonder that getting hold of a psychiatrist can be tricky.

To address this problem, the Utopian College of Emergency for Medicine is proud to announce the unveiling of their new ‘Mental Health Hotline’:
