‐ Please be aware of the terminated and suspended patient relationships who should not be
allowed admission to the sickle cell service. However, these patients can be admitted to the general
medicine service.
‐ The BMT/heme fellow covers patients with leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myelomas, TTP/ITP, or
patients who have had bone marrow transplants.
You may get calls from the ER for a patient who is appropriate for another service, and the referral
should be made to the appropriate fellow on call. If a patient is to be admitted, ask the ER resident to
call the SPECIALTY M.O.D. – this is the senior resident on call who is responsible for all the heme, onc,
liver and GI admissions overnight/weekends. You should make an effort to call the MOD as well, to
convey your impression and initial plan. Then, a few hours later, the resident will call you and discuss
the case and plan with you in more detail.
The ICU is a closed unit, and only the ICU fellows/attendings have admission rights. If you like to admit a
patient to the unit, you need to talk to the ICU fellow
