Sweet grandmother telephoned Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. She timidly asked,
‘Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient isdoing?’
The operator said, ‘I’ll be glad to help, dear. What’s the nameand room number?’
The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, ‘Norma Findlay, Room302.’
The operator replied, ‘Let me place you on hold while I check with hernurse.’
After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said, ‘Oh, Ihave good news.
Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressureis fine; her blood work just came back as normal, and her physician,Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday.’
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 yourdaughter?’
The grandmother said, ‘No, I’m Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells meshit.’
