A sweet grandmother 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'll be glad to help, dear.

What's the name and room number of the patient?"

The grandmother, in her weak, tremulous voice, said "Norma Findlay,
Room 302."

The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I check with
the nurse's station for that room."

After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, "I have
good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well.
Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and her
physician, Dr.. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.."

The grandmother said "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried.

Bless you for the good news."

The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"

The grandmother said, "No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302.. No one tells me
squat."

Funny and so realistic. I find this happens frequently with my sister's hospitalizations.

I love this and I'll remember it if I'm ever hospitalized!
