If you’re on a rotational call for indigent patients or patients without a doctor, how would you feel about having to see a patient in the ED whom you had dismissed from your practice?

"Although I would not choose to do this electively, I would follow policy and accept, without any personal asides to the patient. If the patient chose not to accept me as his or her doctor for this episode, I would call the Patient's Advocate and arrange a consultation with the patient to remedy the conflict."
