Hospital

A woman called a local hospital --"Hello. Could you connect me to the
person who gives information about patients? I'd like to find out
if a patient is getting better, doing as expected, or getting
worse.

The voice on the other end said "What is the patient's name
and room number?"
It's "Sarah Finkel, Room 302."
"I'll connect you to the nursing station".
"Third floor nursing station. How can I help you?"
"I'd like to know the condition of Sarah Finkel in Room 302."
"Just a moment. Let me look at her records. Mrs. Finkel is very
well.In fact she had two full meals, her blood pressure is fine.
She is 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 on Tuesday."

The woman said "What a relief. Oh, that's fantastic. That's wonderful news."
The nurse said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it, you are a close family member,
or are you a very close friend?"

"Neither. I'm Sarah Finkel in Room 302. Nobody tells me anything in here"............

A true story, at least it was told me by the MLSO who took the phone call.

Middle of the night.
"Can you help me. My husband came in today to out patients and was given a large bottle and told to collect a 24hr urine sample. And HE CAN'T HOLD ON ANY LONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
