(Had to use this pic…my best laughing one!)
Well, we LOVED this Quora story and thought it a good Spark for today, to make us smile, and to appreciate the ingenuity of grandmothers!
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 anything.”
BRILLIANT!
That is so funny…and true!
Yes, we loved this granny!
Ha ha ha ha nice one, Loulou.
So many cool grannies in the world…But I’m a step granny so can’t claim coolness, haha.
Where I work, that operator would have likely been in trouble!~ But yes, that was a great way to find out what was needed! Smart lady!!
I went to that site, (Good Vibes) and spent a couple hours reading through the various wisdoms found there. Inspiring. Not at all a waste of time. Though in those two hours I could have done a lot of other stuff…LOL!
We just like ANYTHING nowadays that is positive, haha. Thank you for visiting.
That was a really fun story sweet Loulou!
