You might be a hospitalist if the orthopedist consults you for medical management— after you’ve already been seeing the patient for the past three days.

You might be a hospitalist if the ED doctor tells you, "Admission, room 6." When you ask, "Any more information?", he says, "Yeah, thanks for asking. Admission, room 7, too."
