When I am with patients and my handphone rings I take a quick glance at it and I just pick it up and tell the person I am with a patient and will call them back.
I never ignore any calls cos some could even be emergency calls from family and near and dear ones.
If I am gloved and unable to take the call, I ask my staff to answer the handphone.
If the consultation room phones ring,I ask my staff to attend to it and answer the call if needed cos sometimes some patient could be wanting to know something urgent.
But I still could never forget once my hand phone rang( I forgot to switch it off) while I was giving expert evidence in court and I apologized profusely to the judge but thank god he was cool and told me he wouldn't mind me answering it in case it was some emergency for me.
