I Heart Consults
“Consult: To seek approval for a course of action already decided upon.”
- Ambrose Bierce
I’m finger-deep in preparing for a presentation for tomorrow, so this post will be brief. In short, I’m in love with doing neurology consults (my rotation for the month of March). While I think I would love psychiatry consults even more, I love the whole idea of being a “consultant.” Basically, a doctor consults another specialty when they need “special” advice. (The reality is actually more complicated, but I don’t have the time to address that right now.) And then we see the patient, review the chart and make our recommendations. It’s fun and challenging and keeps me interested.
I just heard the doorbell ring. Time to eat sushi delivery. Nitey!
