Interesting you should ask this question: we currently work in an environment where the BB medical director is readily available for consultation, unless he is in the gross room or reading a frozen section. All of our pathologists rotate between clinical, gross room, cytopath & frozen sections, in addition to taking call. Only the BB medical director has the BB expertise, so I go to him as long as he is available. Just recently, our lab coordinator (aka secretary) announced that she will be posting a schedule identifying specific times when we can approach each pathologist for consult. I have a problem with this. We are a regional trauma center and NICU with an active CT Surgery program. I don't think limiting access to the BB medical director is in the best interest of our patients.
