Old lady telephones the hospital for news about a patient, but the truth is a shocker

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

“I can,” the operator replied, “what’s the name and room number?”

The old lady in her weak voice said, “Norma Findlay, Room 302.”

“Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse,” the operator said.

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.”

“Oh, thank you. That’s wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you!” The old lady exclaimed, relieved.

“You’re more than welcome. Is she your daughter?” the operator asked.

The grandmother said, “No, I’m Norma in Room 302. No one tells me sh–t.”
