Of all the specialists on staff of a hospital--except for Emergency Physicians--hospital-based physicians are probably less experienced in running or attending codes. This question is not asking if you are qualified, but if you are willing to make sure SOMEONE goes, even if it's you.

"I'm a physician, so of course I would respond. That being said, it is not lost on me how infrequently I am called upon to do this, so it would be my obligation to drop out if I felt there were those better qualified to attend this emergency. If I were the only physician, I would run the code to the best of my abilities, which is probably good enough for the emergency until someone else can supersede me."
