Abstract
Schuster et al. (Nov. 15 issue)1 report an increased incidence of distress after the events of September 11 and advise clinicians to be prepared to assist people with trauma-related symptoms. Using national workload data from the Department of Veterans Affairs, I compared the average number of daily outpatient visits during the 19 working days before and after September 11 in different clinical subgroups and geographic locations (excluding weekends, holidays, and September 11 itself).Keywords
