A sweet grandmother called St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and, in a soft, trembling voice, asked, \u201cIs it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
The operator replied warmly, \u201cOf course, dear. What\u2019s the name and room number of the patient?\u201d<\/p>\n
The grandmother hesitated slightly before saying, \u201cNorma Findlay, Room 302.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me check with the nurse\u2019s station for that room. Please hold on for a moment,\u201d the operator said.<\/p>\n
After a few minutes, the operator returned to the line. \u201cGood news! The nurse told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is great, her blood work is normal, and Dr. Cohen has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
The grandmother sighed in relief, \u201cThank you so much. That\u2019s wonderful. I\u2019ve been so worried. God bless you for giving me such good news.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a smile, the operator asked, \u201cIs Norma your daughter?\u201d<\/p>\n
The grandmother replied, \u201cNo, I\u2019m Norma Findlay in Room 302.<\/p>\n
No one tells me anything around here!\u201d<\/p>\n
