A woman, calling a local hospital, said, "Hello, I'd like<br />to talk with the person who gives the information<br />regarding your patients. I'd like to find out if the<br />patient is getting better, or doing as expected, or<br />is getting worse."<br /><br />The voice on the other end of the line said, "What is<br />the patient's name and room number?"<br /><br />She said, "Sarah Finkel, in Room 302."<br /><br />"I will connect you with the nursing station."<br /><br />"3-A Nursing Station. How can I help you?"<br /><br />"I would like to know the condition of Sarah Finkel<br />in Room 302"<br /><br />"Just a moment. Let me look at her records. Oh, yes.<br />Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had two<br />full meals, her blood pressure is fine, her blood work<br />just came back as normal, she's going to be taken off<br />the heart monitor in a couple of hours and if she<br />continues this improvement, Dr. Cohen is going to<br />send her home Tuesday at twelve o'clock."<br /><br />The woman said, "Thank heaven! That's wonderful!<br />Oh! that's fantastic that's wonderful news!"<br /><br />The nurse said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you<br />must be a close family member or a very close friend!"<br /><br />"Not exactly, I'm Sarah Finkel in 302! Nobody here tells<br />me nothing!"
