A sweet old lady telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital. She timidly asked,
- "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"
The operator said,
- "I can, what's the name and room number?"
The old lady in her weak voice said,
- "Norma Findlay, Room 302."
The operator replied,
- "Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse."
After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said,
- "Oh, I have good news, her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday."
The old lady said,
- "Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you!"
The operator replied,
- "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"
The grandmother said,
- "No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me shit."
