Why don't you call her office and ask? I know a new speciality for physicians is a "Hospitalist". They are physicians who will follow a patient while he is in the hospital and then turn the patient back to his PCP when he is discharged. My mother had a hospitalist when she was in the hospital a few years ago. It worked out fine for her. Also, my husband's cousin's son specializes in hospital care.

Since this is more and more common, perhaps this is the situation.
