HOW IS NORMa>
> 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 of the patient?"
>
>
> The grandmother, in her weak, tremulous voice said, "Norma Findley,
Room 302."
>
>
> The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I check with the
nurses’ station for that room."
>
> After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, "I
have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well.
> Her blood pressure is fine, her blood work just came back normal and
her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow."
>
>
> 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 Findley in Room 302. No one tells
me shit."
