The resident requesting a change in the call schedule will be
responsible for notifying Elaine Taylor, the hospital emergency
rooms and operators which are involved in the change.

emergencies will be handled by the normal contingent of
physicians staffing the clinic. Residents will be assigned
individual pagers to ensure reachability.
Residents will be responsible for seeing and evaluating all
emergency room eye patients at ECMC, CHOB, VA,
