Forgot to say, that if I am the primary care physician for a patient, I EXPECT a report from anyone else who sees that patient.  If the mother requests a consult - you do not need my permission to see her, you do need to tell me what you found and what you recommend, so that I can be sure the best interests of the mother and baby are served.  Of course I work in a very specialized environment where EVERY consultant (MD or otherwise) needs a request/order from me (NICU).
