#TipsForNewDocs On night call, I used to answer: “What's the emergency?" Then, I needed on-call peds for my kid- his first words: “How can I help?" That’s how I respond now. Not being nice won't limit calls, it just makes them unpleasant for all involved. #kittlesonrules

Crowd-sourcing is helpful :) my partner (who was aware and the one who originally approached me with this request) was delighted (because he’s awesome) that I would provide one-time consultation for reassurance.
A pt w/ATTR-CM is seen by your partner. You confirmed the pt had the right testing and is on best mgmt. The pt heard that you are an amyloid expert and wants a second opinion. Do you say yes, b/c the customer is always right, or no, because it's a waste of a second opinion?
