not really. you can just say you started the note and saw them later and took you the whole time or you were thinking etc.

I was joking. As you will soon discover, academic medicine is inefficient. The higher up the attending, the slower they go. There is a reason people choose to do academic medicine for less money and a leisure life/not working very hard is one of them.

I was under the assumption that academic medicine is pretty stressful because a certain amount of research productivity is expected from you?

yes we psychiatrists are all exactly the same, in the way that all surgeons are exactly the same, and internists are the same. Sadly, there are no variations. Once you match into residency, you fit into a very specific mold.
If you think its the specialty that makes people a certain way, rather than the person and their experiences, then perhaps you should pay slightly more attention to your psychiatry rotation.

Calm down. You're not in a position to deem whether the attending needs to hold the resident "accountable".
You won't be someone with whom people want to work (i.e., rank highly for residency) if you think you know better and criticize services on how they talk to nurses, interview patients, and round. If anything, you are the one "accountable" and will get a bad review from the resident and attending if you come off like this in person.
Anyway, is this consults? We ain't ortho trauma surgeons, we don't get a $2k+ daily stipend to be on ED call. We do ED consults as a courtesy, if we want. For floor consults, 24 hours is the general rule. We are specialist consultants only, and emergencies in the ED or med floors are handled by the primary team, not the specialist.
Also, a med student working (sitting around) 10 am to 5 pm, a with a few hours of actual rounding, should stop whining. And a 45 min interview (or even 60-90 min) with a new psych consult is pretty efficient. But what does a student know about "efficiency"? Talk to me about efficiency the next time you get sued for a murder-suicide. The only thing I agree with you is that the resident needs to get their notes in ASAP. Still, cut the resident some slack. You don't know if the resident was woken up 10 times on home call.
