I've come to the conclusion that there's no such thing.
It's too complicated. The admission rates do not depend on the MO, HO, or SN on duty; rather, it has many extraneous factors too. You can predict that it will be a week with many admissions for AEBA and MVAs, for example when it has rained heavily; or for drowning and burns, during holidays and large national celebrations.
But there is no telling which healthcare personnel really contributes to a sleepless on-call, no matter what. Even if an MO has been having an unfortunate streak with admissions, eventually that he/she will get a break- and vice-versa. This entirely dissipates the J/Anti-J theory.
Of course, it's just more fun to look up the MOs on duty and try to anticipate the admissions.
It's part of being a doctor in the government, to me- it could even become the starting point of a great discussion and subsequent bond with your colleagues and superiors. But never put too much stock into what others tell you as a 'bad case of J-ness'. Unlike asthma in young children, and apart from the abovementioned environmental factors, there is no solid predictive index for admission rates!
But hey, if that trend really persists with someone you know- or even YOU- at least you know there will be extra EXP & pahala! Ka-CHING!
