Typical of an adolescent psychiatrist?

If he/she is in private practice, he/she probably sees 3 or 4 clients/day completing initial evals and med checks. He/she will spend some time dictating notes for intial evals and/or doing chartwork. The rest of the day is spent on the phone dealing with managed care nazis. If he/she is employed by a hospital, the first part of the day is probably spent in "rounds" (e.g., 5 min/patient doing med checks). Part of the day will be spent in case conferences with the rest of the multi-disciplinary treatment team. A day for a hospital adol. psychiatrist might also include some dealings with managed care nazis, as well, but much of that is handled by other staff in this settings. He/she will also spend time signing off on charts. ~Dr. B.~

Thanks for the laugh! I was so tickled because I thought you were describing the psychologists mentality. lol I'm not really that dense! I just need to go eat, been on here too long!
