So when I’m paged to the hospital in the middle of the night, I can’t hurry to take care of someone’s baby?

Reminds me of a story. I’m an RN. Calm night on Tele unit.

Phone rings. Excited doctor, “How’s my patient! Have you started CPR yet!?”

“Nothing’s going on here, doctor.”

“I don’t have time for that. Here, tell this officer it’s an emergency!”

(Me, to officer) “This guy’s going to die if we don’t get our doctor here, right now!”

(Officer) “Right away!”

A few minutes later, doc shows up. After a police escort to the hospital, he was honor bound to come.

He tried the same thing at a different hospital. (Nurse to officer): “I have no idea what he’s talking about, everybody’s fine here.”
