Dr. Hyper: "HI! THIS IS MIKE HYPER! I'M THE HOSPITALIST ON CALL OVER NIGHT, AND I NEED YOU TO HAVE A LOOK AT A GUY I THINK MAY HAVE HAD A SEIZURE! HE FAINTED OVER AT THE HOCKEY ARENA!"
Dr. Grumpy: "Okay, I'll swing by in the morning."
Dr. Hyper: "THAT SOUNDS GREAT! HANG ON, LET ME JUST GET MORE COFFEE HERE... ANYWAY, HE BIT HIS TONGUE, BUT DOESN'T HAVE ANY HISTORY OF SEIZURES!"
Dr. Grumpy: "Was he incontinent?"
Dr. Hyper: "HE CERTAINLY WAS! IN FACT, I CHECKED HIS PANTS MYSELF!"

Just curious, what happens in such cases where a hospitalist on call is called away suddenly, like for example to attend an emergency disciplinary hearing or something like that?
"IT WAS DEFINITELY A VENTI!"
"Look, I had a few beers, hockey tickets are expensive, and I didn't want to miss any of the game, okay?"
"BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT AS BAD AS THIS ONE GUY I SAW LAST WEEK WITH EXTREME DIARRHEA!"
"THEY STILL FIT ME, THOUGH!"
It’s refreshing to see the enthusiasm of youth, juxtaposed to the jaded, seen it all view of the elder statesman of the professions.
"AND I MAY HAVE ADDED TO IT A LITTLE BIT! HEY, IT'S A HASSLE TO WALK ALL THE WAY DOWN THE HALL TO THE BATHROOM AND HIS PANTS WERE ALREADY WET ANYWAY!"
