Any residents compensated per consult? I know some other specialties do this in residency and it is more inline with what happens out in practice. Attendings' attitudes on bs consults is to see them, be nice to the consulting team and bill. For residents, bs consults just mean more work without any legit education or benefit, often leading to demeaning phone calls and interactions. If there was an extra little amount of money to see dumb consults, I think I would more easily tolerate it
