One of the blessings of Dorrigo is that it has very patchy and unreliable mobile cover - excellent excuse for me not to wear one. All I have is my pager. It displays a message, and after reading it *I* decide if and when I feel like returning a call or acting upon it. Infinitely better than being bothered by everybody and his do g at all times. Another advantage: every message the triage nurse sends me is logged - there never will be any disputes about what they said when they call me in Yet another advantage: nobody but the hospital can page me - simply no way for patients to bypass the triage system. Invaluable when you are on call 5 consecutive days 24 hours a day all year round.
