If it's a psychiatrist, many are on-call, so need to respond to emergencies with their patients, regardless of having office workers or not. In terms of other therapists, I don't really know, but I think they should not answer their phones. It's not professional. Presumably if they have office workers, only emergency calls will be transferred to them, but even then, I don't really know what their responsibility is to their patients having an emergency. Like do they have to respond right away or can wait till the session is over with someone else.
