Problem: A patient comes into the ER during the night following a motor vehicle accident. He has multiple injuries, including a potential head injury. The ER physician calls the neurologist on-call, but he does not respond. When the neurologist does finally answer the call, he sounds inebriated. After trying to reach the on-call physician several more times, the ER physician concludes that she needs to transfer the patient to another hospital across town in light of her inability to get the necessary neurology consultation. 1. Discuss potential ethical and legal issues raised by this hypothetical. 2. You are the administrator responsible for the ER and are informed of this the next day. What would your first steps be? Do you need to report the neurologist to anyone? Would you take any additional steps to reduce the risk of this happening again?
