Ditti! But,that's the just the first step. Step two is getting the vascular
docs not to fold under pressure.

We get support of our Doctors whom screen the call ins. If you don't have
that you're stuck. At the hospital I worked at in Phoenix , AZ, the doctor
had to come in with the tech to read the scan, so that was kept to a
minimum. Here in MN where I currently work, they're pretty good about only
calling you in for true stat/urgent needs. Your Doctor/doctors group needs
to elicit a policy on this that will support and stand behind you on these
issues. I know from experience, that we even get an occasional "bogus" call
in that we know wasn't of an urgent nature. But that is kept to a minimum.
Again, you need your Doctors behind you to make it work.

Looking for the experience of other institutions dealing with
weekend
on-call. How are you handling weekend in-patients who are not being
discharged until Monday or later? We get called in for 20-25 exams a
weekend. Carotids, PVR's, Venous. This just the tip of the
iceberg. Many
problems with ER calls also. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
