How To Get Results

[oldbuddy]

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.
God 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 *bleep* around here."

Oh now that's adorable!  Way to go Norma!      I've never been admitted into a hospital but many of my friends have been.  I'll have to keep this clever grandmother in mind the next time one of my dear friends is in a hospital. 

Thank you for sharing, this was a great start to my day.

Thanks for the laugh oldbuddy!  In today's world of HIPAA laws, it is hard to get any information...so go Granny go!

that is cute! Thanks for sharing!
unfortunantely, it is also true.
when in the hospital you have to be your own advocate

Really cute and often so true.  The nurses are so busy that I think they forget about what people need to hear

When I started reading this I was like no they won't just tell you how a patient is doing without knowing who you are. Total HIPPA violation right there. or maybe it isn't idk. but i was slightly amused by the end so good one.

That was great and oh so true! My dad was in the hospital a couple weeks ago and couldn't get any info about anything.

I love it and my mother would have done the same probably.

OMG that was so funny. I never expected that to be said at the end. It probably could be a true store about some hospitals out there.

That was awesome! I needed a good belly ache.
