I totally agree with genlaren, who can't think of a situation that would warrant phoning a doctor over the weekend. However, we used to have a customer that allowed her child to run out of medication on a regular basis, and expect that we would call the physician on his cell phone on evenings, weekends, holidays, etc.<br />I refused to do it. I told her that SHE was welcome to call the Doctor's cell phone herself and request that he call in and RX, but that there was no way I was going to bother him to cover for her irresponsibility!
