Hospital Room 302

[Shapecity]

A woman called a local hospital . . . .

"Hello. Could you connect me to the person who
gives information about patients? I'd like to find
out if a patient is getting better, doing as
expected or getting worse."

The voice on the other end said, "What is the
patient's name and room number?"

"Sarah Finkel, room 302."

"I'll connect you with the nursing station . . . ."

"3-A Nursing Station. How can I help you?"

"I'd like to know the condition of Sarah Finkel in
room 302."

"Just a moment. Let me look at her records. Mrs.
Finkel is doing very well. In fact, she's had two
full meals, her blood pressure is fine, she is 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 noon."

The woman said, "What a relief! Oh, that's fantastic
. . . that's wonderful news!"

The nurse said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you
are a close family member or a very close friend!"

"Neither! I AM Sarah Finkel in 302! Nobody here
tells me ****!"
