But instead, it''s usually like "hey, I'm up at 2 AM, too, so what's the big deal?" The big deal, Einstein, is that you started working a few hours ago and you stop working in a few hours and most likely you get the next day or even next few days off. It's amazing how thick-headed some people are.
I always thank my consultants for calling me back. I never apologize for waking them up. It's your job to be on call, which should have been something that a physician who takes call understood when they applied for residency. I think it's important to be professional and courteous to our consultants, but we do not need to be apologetic for our consultations. Please elaborate on what your expectations are from the Emergency Department, if you would not mind.
