I read the article, quoted it to my chief, got in an argument with him (he prefers the "wait six weeks" approach), found the attending agreeing with me (at night, on the weekend, to the chief's intense annoyance), and am now going to list your post as one of my sources for the presentation the chief assigned as a form of penance cum revenge (no, maybe I won't). I think the net result is good, but I wanted you to know that your post has had a significant impact at my hospital (although I hope you'll excuse my not mentioning your name).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-49592954422678455142008-06-20T20:42:00.000-04:002008-06-20T20:42:00.000-04:00Surgeons in the group other than mine in town alwa...Surgeons in the group other than mine in town always scheduled acute choles in the evening and it always ended up delaying me when I had a more urgent case. It has to be done right away, they'd invariably say. Used to bug me: at that time --lots of years ago -- we had to call in a crew to do after hours surgery, and it was the rare gallbladder that I though justified that. I'd do them next morning, etc., if I could. But then came lap chole and suddenly there were no more unavoidably urgent gallbladders. Moral of the story? No idea.Sid Schwabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182853083503404098noreply@blogger.com
