D. Call the number of the emergency call, write this number down on
paper, write down the patient’s name, and write down the parent or
guardian name. Ask if they are a current patient of the orthodontic
clinic. Determine the nature of the problem and whether it is within
the scope of the clinic. Ask when they could meet you at CADE. Ask
that they remain by the phone while you make arrangements for them
to be seen. Tell them you will call back so you may call them back.
When you call them back tell them that you, a classmate, a faculty
member, and a public safety officer will meet you at the specified time
at CADE so that you can help them with their problem.
E. The details of the emergency visit should be transcribed into the
patient record by the resident the next clinic day, and signed by the
Clinic Director.
F. If major trauma to the patient has occurred, the patient should go
to the hospital emergency room. On the Missouri side of the
Mississippi River, Saint John’s Mercy Hospital has a general practice
residency and oral surgeons on call. On the Illinois side of the river,
Alton Memorial is best. If these are not convenient or practical they
should go to the emergency room as close to their residence as is
possible. Judgment should be exercised as to whether you should meet
them at the emergency room.
Should you have an extraordinary problem you should call Drs. Oliver or
Kim for advice.
Dr. Don Oliver 314-966-2215
Dr. Ki Boem Kim 314-862-1699
Dr. Tako Araujo 314-239-4193
The faculty will try to advise you of the primary and secondary call person
for each holiday or vacation period.
