In a soft, hesitant tone, a kind-hearted grandmother dialed the number of St. Joseph’s Hospital and humbly asked, “Can I speak to someone who can give me an update on a patient ?
The attentive operator replied, “Of course, my dear. Would you be so kind as to provide me with the patient’s name and room number? »
In her frail, trembling voice, the grandmother spoke: “Norma Findlay, room 302.”
The operator assured her, “Please wait a moment while I check with her nurse.” » After a brief pause, the operator returned to the call with good news. “Oh, I have good news. Norma is doing exceptionally well, her nurse says. His blood pressure is stable and his recent blood tests show normal results. Dr. Cohen, his doctor, has scheduled his release for Tuesday.
Overwhelmed with relief, the grandmother expressed her gratitude by saying, “Thank you very much. This is wonderful news. I was terribly worried! God bless you for sharing this positive update.
The operator replied, “You are more than welcome.” Is Norma your daughter?
With a hint of resignation, the grandmother replied, “No, I’m Norma Findlay in room 302. It seems no one is informing me about anything.”
