A little humor I think you would like?

Subject: Norma!

If you or anyone you know well has been in the hospital recently,
you can relate!

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 sh*t
