Hospitalists

Sid Schawb on how his opinion has changed on the matter, and touches on surgical hospitalists in particular:

Taking acute consults and doing emergency operations, the surgical hospitalist makes the life of the rest of the surgeons far more pleasant, allowing them to see their patients, carry out their scheduled surgery without interruption. ORs run more efficiently because of the more ready availability of someone to fit in the unscheduled cases.
