We perform a mixture of open and laparoscopic surgery. We do not treat acute upper or lower GI bleeding. We do not perform anti-reflux procedures. We do not routinely treat inflammatory bowel disease. We do not care for trauma patients at our hospital. 24 hour in-house hospitalist coverage is available to assist with care of surgical patients with medical conditions. |
| Q10. | How many cases on average per day? |
| A10. | 2-4 cases per OR day depending on time and complexity. 4-6 scope patients per Endoscopy day. |
| Q11. | What is the call rotation? |
| A11. | 1 in 4. Call is taken 1 week at a time from noon Friday until noon the following Friday, with 3 weeks off call. During a call week, the on-call surgeon does not have regular clinic hours, allowing that surgeon to respond to call related duties in a more timely fashion. However, the call surgeon still maintains his/her regular OR and Endo days during that week. |
| Q12. | How often are they typically called while on call? |
| A12. | Telephone call frequency varies and can come from the inpatient ward, ER, medical or OB/GYN clinic. However, a surgeon can go for a day or two without receiving any phone calls. |
| Q13. | How often do they get called back into the hospital while on call on average? |
| A13. | We take call for 1 week at a time (Friday noon to the following Friday noon) and typically have to come back to the hospital after hours 2-3 times during an average week. The attending surgeon makes rounds and covers his/her own patients during weekdays 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. The on-call surgeon covers any surgical inpatients after normal work hours and on holidays and weekends during his/her call week. It is expected that all surgeons check out to the on-call surgeon at the end of each workday. The call surgeon is also available to assist other surgeons with more difficult/complex operations. |
