True story

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She
timidly asked, 'Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how
a patient is doing?' 

The operator said 'I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name
and room number?' The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice said,
'Norma Findlay, Room 302.' The operator replied, 'Let me place you on
hold while I check with her nurse.'

After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, 'Oh,
I have good news, her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very
well. Her blood pressure is 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 your daughter?' The grandmother
said, 'No, I'm Norma Findlay in 302. No one tells me shit.'
