My Three Shrinks Podcast 49: Pixelated Psychiatrists
For today's podcast we have guest psychiatrist Dr. Pat Barta talking about telepsychiatry, telemedicine and all things neuroimaging.

My family members all feel that this is an unflattering photo of the dog...."He looks like a corgi".... please ask the Shrink Rap readers to note that the dog is not a corgi. Thank you.
The aspect of telepsychiatry that bothers me is that if the laws would not be carefully written the doors might be open to 3rd-world psychiatrists pedaling cheap consultations over the phone. Once 3rd world pricing structures are competing with current rates, would insurance companies disallow the face-to-face visits we have today or grant a $15 credit for the visit?

Yay... I'm so happy the podcast is back!
