Post-call checklist

For my own amusement, I once saved a list of everything I had to do post-call prior to going home as an intern in the ICU with my census of 7 patients. And here it is:

-Check labs on all 7 patients
-Write morning labs for tomorrow on all 7 patients
-Call case manager about punting patient to a nursing home
-Recalculate pt's insulin regimen
-For a discharge on Monday: call cardiology about follow up, call rheum about follow up, call renal about follow up, call neuro about follow up
-Write discharge note, plus the four consult notes
-Fill out forms for "home health care"
-Beg chief residents to transfer a pt to the wards
-Long list of medications that needed to be ordered or changed, including antibiotics, which require a separate form
-Long list of tests that needed to be ordered
-Consult ENT about getting pt a trach
-F/U several tests on patients, including LE dopplers, echos, CXRs, cultures, more labs
-Call oncology about starting pt on chemo
