Ortho Dump

Refers to an admission that ends up on the medicine service because the ortho resident is either (a) too lazy, (b) doesn't know how to manage blood pressure and diabetes, or (c) doesn't want to do an H&P and discharge summary

I have an ortho dump for you. 39 year old female with hip fracture. Ortho wants medicine to admit because she may have medical problems but they're not sure
