Anyone who has ever had a loved one in the hospital will enjoy
this:
A woman called a local hospital. "Hello. Could you connect me to the
person who gives information about patients. I'd like to find out if a
patient is getting better, doing as expected, or getting worse."
The voice on the other end said, "What
is the patient's name and
room number?"
"Sarah Finkel, room 302."
I'll connect you with the nursing station."
"3rd floor Nursing Station. How can I help You?"
"I'd like to know the condition of Sarah Finkel in room 302."
"Just a moment. Let me look
at her records. Mrs. Finkel is doing
very well. In fact, she's had two full meals, her blood pressure is fine, to
be taken off the heart monitor in a couple of hours and, if she continues
this improvement, Dr. Cohen is going to send her home Tuesday at noon."
The woman said, "What a relief!
Oh, that's fantastic...that's
wonderful news!"
The nurse said, "From your
enthusiasm, I take it you are a close
family member or a very close friend!"
"Neither! I'm Sarah Finkel in 302! Nobody here tells me a thing".
