I dont know, but there SHOULD be one. Let's make one up!!!
I know this happens to other professionals too, like attorneys, investment bankers, etc.
I have heard of professionals sending the person a bill afterwards for the consultation!

Yes.
When health professionals ask each each other "what do you think about this?", at a social gathering or anywhere else, we ask for a "curbstone consult". (From the old custom of catching someone in the street---literally "at the curb stone".) And we're OK with being told by our colleagues, "not right now, sorry; catch me later."
When NON-health-professionals catch health professionals for free medical advice at a social gathering, we refer to this (in our unguarded moments, after about the three thousandth time this happens) as "being a pain in the...."
Sorry, but this gets a little old after a while. I don't mind being a resource person on occasion---look, I'm posting here AND on the health section, for crying out loud!---but we DO like to get off call every now and then....Can't you ask us about some great movie or restaurant?
Or at least, make things more entertaining, by taking off your clothes for us as you talk?
