"The phenomenon can take many forms. In some instances, a patient may be lying on a gurney in the emergency room or in a hospital bed, unaware that all of the people in white coats or scrubs who turn up at the bedside will charge for their services. At times, a fully trained physician is called in when a resident or a nurse, who would not charge, would have sufficed."
Oh those greedy f$@$ing doctors expecting to be paid for taking care of patients they were consulted on in the ER!
And of course don't forget those times when a resident could just handle it himself and not run it by the greedy attending who is only there to pad the bill.
