Maybe he felt as if he was snookered? The story lacks a lot in details, including if the Doctor was being paid for services or donating them. The Doctor was going on the word of the Nurse that the case was non-emergent. The story does sound as if the child was in pain long before the doctor was notified. If the child was at home and taken to an ER she would have had to wait much longer than the time it took for a walk. Youngsters can handle pain much worse if they are exposed to folks who are freaking out which is what it sounds like Imus was doing.

All good points... to me though whatever happened before the doc was summoned has nothing to do with how the doc reacted to the summons. If he is paid to jump..then doesn't then who's fault is it?
