1. Who calls anesthesia to request epidural placements in laboring patients? WHere I'm at it is often the nurses and not the resident/attending/nurse midwife taking care of the patient and this is a big pet peeve of mine. Am I wrong for wanting the pt's doctor and not their nurse to call the anasthesia consult?
2. Do other residents get called in the middle of the night to pull epidurals? Do you pull them in the morning? Do nurses pull them? We get called in the middle of the night even if nothing else is happening and the nurses call again and again even if we tell them we'll pull them in a few hours and it drives me nuts. Just wondering again if I'm being too picky or if things are different elsewhere.
Thanks.
