      • Hi Trish. The pts. are admitted by the attending and the orders are directed by Dr.Kalcynski (OAKS). re: the desensitization protocol and as she doesn't have admitting privileges to ICU ,the orders are okayed by the attending.The attending admits and discharges the patients when the protocol is complete.
