How is Norma?
« on: Dec 09, 2012, 05:15:47 PM »
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 Findlay, Room 302."

The operator replied,
"Let me put you on hold
while I check with the nurse's 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 Findlay in
Room 302. No one tells me $hit."

Now that's funny, and sadly, often true.
Dear Lord, On this day, please wrap your arm around my shoulder and keep your hand over my mouth.  Amen

That's one way of finding out what you need to know... :giggle:
