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. Nevertheless, your speciality is not typically involved in life-and-death crises.

"Unless managing a clinically unstable situation or in the middle of a procedure, I would respond, and then only drop out if there were those there who I felt were more qualified to attend the code. This would probably include any surgical or medical specialties or primary care specialists, although I keep up with my certifications in advanced life support and resuscitation."
