Intern Orientation

• Respond to consults within 30 minutes, call chief when your ready to present - Time management and prioritization are key
• Call chief to present consult, have a plan ready
• Chief sees consult, then he/she calls attending who will then see it. By time attending sees pt try to have formal note in so they can cosign it.

• Return pages as soon possible
• As Patrick Swayze said "Be Nice"
• If you can't answer the question, find the answer and call back. Don't make things up

Trauma Nights:

Pagers: Activation, Trauma green, SIU, Plastics

Phone: Trauma junior - 847 - 2606 (Trauma senior 72601)

Responsibilities: Identifying and reporting problems in the ICU and SIU and telling your trauma senior, seeing Trauma greens, ICU and Plastic consults, and responding to activation

General:

Pagers: Green, ACS, Peds, and Code

Phone: ACS - 847 -2913

Responsibilities: Consults for all services and presenting to chief in house

Code: We are pretty useless during codes but it you hit the lotto you can do lines and surgical airway (and by you I mean a Senior resident)
