Thanks for adding your story, my Brother. I am glad that you mentioned how one can sidestep the stigma of going for mental health care. That is huge. So many benefits to telepsychiatry that I almost forgot that one. Oh, Clowns was also the breakout med for me. Calms your brain, calms your muscles, puts things back in prospective. I often think of it as a long acting version of ALP. They are each wonder drugs, if you ask me. Thanks again, FF.
My pleasure, 'dude. Thank YOU for your comments. IMO, the medical world is heading toward RNP domination. MD's will be more and more scarce, just as in Europe. As they leave the field, or fail to come into the field, PA-C's and RNP's move up a notch in responsibility. To that end, my wife (and RN of 30 years) went back to school to get her masters and has entered into a RNP program. They told her it will take about 6 months to complete, due to her previous education and job experience. She had to do something to make herself more indispensable. You say that you took classes toward that degree. Are you thinking or returning? That has always been a great position but, as you say, with the advent of telepsychiatry, it may add the perk of work-at-home and will be more booming than ever. Have a fine day. RM

One google search and you can see that telepsychiatry is a huge field for employment. Kind of amazing how you can work from home as well. I used to go to a RNP back in the day whose main complaint about the job was the long commute and the money it cost to have an office. This completely takes that out of the equation, making life easier for both parties. Very interesting Rafterman, thanks for posting!
