Join my Physician Interrupted chat
A novel space for us to converse and connect about key issues making life as a physician (how to put it? ...) sucky.
Happy to let you know about a promising addition to my Substack publication: the Physician Interrupted subscriber chat.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers — kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, you’ll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
One Physician Interrupted subscriber noted that, in trying to subscribe to the chat, he was asked to share his contacts, and really was't given an option not to. So he declined. This is my first foray into the substack chat feature and so I didn't know about this. And as the publication "author/owner," I don't get to see what happens after you hit the subscribe button. Did anyone else have that forced choice of allowing Substack to access your contacts? It's troubling. These days, I'm leery of any program that lets it have access to anything. Lemme know.
I see that chat, but it looks like you have to start the threads. I could only comment on threads that were previously started.
