I'm not really willing to go off of what Battered has said, he's somewhat subjective here.
If the Consultant felt it such an important matter he wouldn't have allowed such a situation to exist for 9 hours. I'm pretty sure the Hospital would happily distance itself from his advise and refer the intrepid Battered to the handy link above.

Perhaps the consultant had only recently started shift?

Correct. She came on duty at 8pm.
