> Why take an off the cuff opinion of a MD who hasn't examined the patient or seen his charts (all info was given verbally over the phone) as absolute?

While it doesn't change the overall point much, she didn't take the opinion of an MD that way; after getting the response from yhe hospitalist, she attempted to bypass the refusal by taking the case to a physician at her own clinic who had admitting privileges at the hospital, but who reached the same conclusion as the hospitalist had.
