Ever feel like doing this? lol

A sweet grandmother telephoned Mount Sinai 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,  "Holly Finkel, room 302."
The Operator replied, "Let me check..... Oh, good news. Her records say that Ms. Finkel 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 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 Holly your daughter?"
The Grandmother said, "No, I'm Holly Finkel in 302--------no one tells me anything..."

LOL Kimchi!  I'll try doing that at my doctor's office since I seem to have to fill out authorization paperwork that asks everything from eye color to what size underwear in order to get them to release any information even to me!!  HIPA laws being what they are, I guess.

Thanks for the laugh!
