the on-call checklist

One page for the whole shift.

Before the shift, when the phone rings, at the bedside, and before you leave it: the steps that are easy to skip at 3am, on one printable page.

• what to ask on the phone before you hang up
• the bedside first pass, in order
• what to settle before you leave the patient
• when to call your senior (and why “I don’t know what’s going on” counts)

No doses on the sheet. Doses and full approaches live on the free pages here, where they’re kept reviewed.

Written by a physician. Part of The MOC: a free clinical reference for doctors on the wards.

Educational reference for trained clinicians. Cross-check current local policy and senior staff before acting.
