RE: RE:[MARKETING] [EXTERNAL] Querying more than one physician
"they indicated they were not going to defer to the consultants-"
I guess I did not read her question as the attending DID NOT want to defer to consultant, I thought she was just saying they did not say DEFER TO consultant.
I know the attending has final say. I have had an attending write MI and the cardiologis say no MI. the attnding has said, I don't agree. I accept attendings word. I understand there would be no use in asking consultant to OVERRIDE attending.
Maybe i misunderstood the intent. I thought it was merely can you ask a specialist when an attending is unable to determine. NOT to challenge them but because they said they did not know.
I'm guessing you are taking it (and maybe that is what original author meant) as the attending is saying I won't budge and I will not give a detemination. IF that was the intent and message of attending I agree I would leave it alone.
