1. I don't text or call personal phones at work - although many only have one phone that does both duties - our method of contact them is usually an app that goes to their cell phone. But that being said, there are several that I have worked with for years that I know I can call their phone when necessary (within reason)from what i understand, if you texted or called a doctor on their personal cell phone for work related things then you will get your ass chewed
2. It sounds like a lot of people here are either a. afraid to contact MD's? b. have poor relationships with their staff that leads to these types of interactions. Maybe I am lucky in the fact I have great working relationships with many of the docs I work with (ED and hospitalists and even the hospital surgery group), but I am never afraid to call someone or feel that they "may get mad at me"
