How is She Doing?
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 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 anything."
