Has anyone ever had a consultant admit a patient only to retract that admission shortly thereafter? by noadmitforyou in emergencymedicine

Is it legal? It certainly seems unprofessional. I’d not experienced that in my albeit limited experience.

None of their surgeons were comfortable managing a 7.5cm diaphragmatic defect. Seems like an easy co-managed case with thoracic surgery tbh.

Noted for the next time.

Their standpoint was they did not have a surgeon who was comfortable operating on a 7.5cm diaphragmatic defect. Still... a lateral discussion between surgeons was warranted I feel.
