Survival Tips > Services

  • Green medicine: general floor medicine, can have people in A6/B6 monitored beds e.g. syncope.

  • Blue medicine: cardiology-takes patients with acute cardiac issues, including patients with CHF exacerbations.

  • Yellow:  MICU– patients who need to be in the intensive care unit with various problems (patients can also have a MI rule out in the MICU if their primary problem is not cardiac). 

  • Red:  Renal: Take all dialysis patients no matter what the complaint or problem. The fellow must be called prior to calling the team to approve all admissions.

  • Surgery: act as consultants and should be called down to evaluate patients prior to admission.

  • Family Practice: takes all their own patients with non-surgical problems. Be sure to ask your potential green medicine patients who their primary care provider, often it is FP. The big FP clinic is on Lake street.
