FAQ


Approximately how many patients are there in the hospital to round on during the weekend?

Usually, the oncologist waits until Sunday to round 10-12 patients and handle any consults that come in from Friday evening to Sunday am. There is never an emergency cancer patient a hospitalist cannot handle; they may call for opinions.

Is there a nurse/APP on call to field phone calls or hospital consults?

No, the APPS take their own turn being primary call with one of our main oncologists as back up if they have questions.

Is it usual that the on-call oncologist must go back to the hospital after they have made their rounds for the day?

No, the hospitalist usually handles it, or again it can wait until the next day or Monday morning. If a new consult is placed it can wait, if it s something they really need an oncologist for the hospitalists team will call and let you know but 90% of the time it can wait. We have 24-48 hours to complete consults.
