A woman called a local hospital.
“Hello,” she said, “I’d like to find out if a patient is getting better or getting worse.”
The voice on the other end of the line said, “What is the patient’s name and room number?”
“Sarah Cohen in Room 302,” the woman answered.
“Just a moment, let me look at her records. Oh, yes. Mrs. Cohen 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. Weiss is going to send her home Tuesday at noon.”
“Thank God!” the woman said. “That’s wonderful, what wonderful news!”
The nurse said, “From your enthusiasm, I take it you must be a family member or a very close friend?”
“Not exactly,” the woman said. “I’m Sarah Cohen in 302! Nobody here tells me anything.”
