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."
Nursing Station. How can I help You?"
"I'd like to know the condition of Sara! h 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, she is 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 close family friend.
"Neither! ................ I'm Sarah Finkel in Room 302. Nobody here tells me sh..t!"
