If anything this illustrates the difficulty in maintaining an ER call roster. Most oral surgeons work out of offices/surgicenters. They don’t have to (and many don’t!) take ER call. Same applies to ENT, Optho, Plastics, many other specialties 1/x

Many hospitals frequently have big gaps in their call roster, and this is one of the reasons: they have to deal w insurance nonpayment (in addition to many other hassles).

Well with that approach more than half of hospital care occurs in the “ER” bc >50% admissions now thru ED... Wording is important bc this issue much larger than ER; makes simple enemy but avoids more complex discussion
