Night calls in a single-handed rural practice

R J Cunningham. J R Coll Gen Pract. 1980 Dec.

Abstract

Night calls attended by one doctor during five consecutive years (1973 to 1977) in a single-handed rural practice, were analysed and divided into two categories: (a) reasonable; (b) unreasonable. Half the night calls were genuine emergencies but 17 per cent were quite unnecessary.
