Before he even hangs up with radiology he has the clerk page three neurologists in hopes that one will call back/be on call/admit the poor guy. Then eventually he talks to the family and oops! They have a different plan. At least they didn't say "we didn't call you..." my all time favorite!Dr. Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-3675944730605596802009-10-19T11:31:41.668-04:002009-10-19T11:31:41.668-04:00Dr. Grumpy?
