Severe Murmur?

Having busy mad call.

Got a call from X ward.

HO: "Hi Dr, I would like to refer you a case."
Me: "Sure, what case is that?"

HO: "This is a man who's admitted to our ward for blahblahblah, then incidentally found to have a heart murmur."
Me: "Ok...symptom wise? I mean is he symptomatic?"

HO: "No he's not symptomatic at all."

Me: "Ok...if that's the case, would you mind getting him an ECHO appointment, then see us in MOPD (Medical outpatient)?"

HO: "Hmm...you think you can come and see the patient in the ward?"

Me: "Why?"

HO: "Because my specialist insists you to have a look. We are not sure whether it's a mild or severe murmur."

Mild or severe murmur...what a reason! (No such thing exists okay)

So, in the end, have to go and see the patient also...despite the busy mad call.

Is this some form of bullying again? But this just keep happening during my call. Sigh!
