QUESTION 19 OF 25

What would be your response to hearing a code being called in the middle of the night as youâ€™re getting ready to go home after attending a patient?

A no-brainer question. Of course you would respond. It is tempting to assume that certainly someone else would be there to respond, and that it typically true, but you don't want to be seen as the type of person who would need to hear the code called repeatedly before you responded.

"Unless managing a clinically unstable situation or in the middle of a procedure, I would respond, and then drop out if there were those there who I felt were more qualified to attend and manage the code. As my primary specialty is Internal Medicine, I am qualified; but if there were a physician there who was currently practicing Cardiology or Internal Medicine, I would defer to him or her as better qualified since I have narrowed my clinical focus to Infectious Disease."
