Being there 24/7? Yes. Better job? I'll believe it when I see it. You're arguing 2 different things at once

Plus, 24/7 access isn't necessarily the best for patients. Crisis hotlines exist for good reason, but for most other issues it can become a crutch if patients are able to seek constant reassurance vs building skills of resiliency, learning to push through discomfort, etc. Ideally patients are "let loose" between sessions and return to the provider with updates on how they fared on their own.

But by arguing two different things at once it's possible to facilely switch from one to the other to your argument's convenience.

Or do you not want to help people who are suffering? (/s)
