Reminder for our new resident peers:
If you find yourself in the role of a consultant, be kind. The person paging you is asking for help from you, the expert. It's an opportunity to help & educate.
Remember how nervous you might've been the 1st time you called a consult!

Yes, all those "silly consults" add up to be more work. But remember, you are the expert now, and what is "silly" to you may be truly confounding to the primary team. Something that might seem so simple to you is only that way because of your training, and that's pretty great.

I still remember the times I got annoyed or angry about a "silly consult." Without fail, I always regretted how I reacted on the phone. It's so much easier to be kind, than to apologize later. You are serving as an ambassador for your specialty to the rest of the hospital!
