A little Jewish lady, calling Mount Sinai Hospital, said, "Hello, darling,
I'd like to talk with the person who gives the information regarding your
patients. I want to know if the patient is getting better, or doing like
expected, or is getting worse."
The voice on the other end of the line said, "What is the patient's name
and room number?"
She said, "Yes, darling! Sarah Finkel, in Room 302."
He said, "Oh, yes. Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had two
full meals, her blood pressure is fine, her blood work just came back as
normal, she's going to be taken off the heart monitor in a couple of hours
and if she continues this improvement, Dr. Cohen is going to send her home
Tuesday at twelve o' clock."
The woman said, "Thank God! That's wonderful! Oh! That's fantastic,
darling! That's wonderful news!"
The man on the phone said, "Oh, I take it you're a family member or close
friend!"
"I am Sarah Finkel in 302! Dr. Cohen doesn't tell me @#$%!"
