What a good idea
!!
A little woman called Mount Sinai Hospital. She said, Hello,
darling, I'd like to talk with the person
who gives the information regarding your
patients. But, I don't want to know if the patient is getting
better, or doing like expected, or worse.
I want to know all the information from top
to bottom, from A to Y !'
The voice on the other end of the line said,
"That's a very unusual request....What is the patient's name
and room number ? " She said, 'Yes,
darling! I'd like to know the information about
Sarah Finkel, in Room 302.'
He said, 'Finkel,
Finkel. Let me see. Feinberg, Farber,
Finkel. Oh, yes. Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had
two full meals, her blood pressure is fine, her blood work
just came back
as normal, she's going 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 twelve o' clock.'
The woman said, 'Thank God! That's
wonderful! Oh, thank God! Her test came back normal, she's getting
off the heart machine in a couple of
hours you say. Oh! that's fantastic, darling!
And she is being released tomorrow at twelve o'clock! I'm so
happy to hear
that! . . . That's wonderful news!'
The man on the phone said, 'From your
enthusiasm, I take it you must be a close family member or a very
close friend!'
She said, 'What close family or friend? I'm Sarah Finkel in 302!
Cohen my doctor tells me nothing." |
