GYN: Emergency TL

I'm awaiting an OR case, and the head nurse said that one of the general
surgeons may call me to do a Tubal Ligation on someone who is having a
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy this AM in about an hour.
Even if it is an existing patient, it really rubs me the wrong way--no
chance to see, examine, counsel, consent or pre-certify (if needed), to
say nothing of my office schedule.
Thoughts welcome.
Garry
PS--this is a preliminary rant; the details may make this request very
reasonable, I suppose.
