A sweet grandmother called St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and, in a soft, trembling voice, asked, \u201cIs it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?\u201d The operator replied warmly, \u201cOf course, dear. What\u2019s the name and room number of the patient?\u201d The grandmother hesitated slightly before saying, \u201cNorma Findlay, Room 302.\u201d \u201cLet me check with the nurse\u2019s station for that room. Please hold on for a moment,\u201d the operator said,<\/p>\n
After a few minutes, the operator returned to the line. \u201cGood news! The nurse told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is great, her blood work is normal, and Dr. Cohen has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.\u201dThe grandmother sighed in relief, \u201cThank you so much. That\u2019s wonderful. I\u2019ve been so worried. God bless you for giving me such good news.\u201d With a smile, the operator asked,<\/p>\n
\u201cIs Norma your daughter?\u201d The grandmother replied, \u201cNo, I\u2019m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me anything around here!\u201d TRUE STORY\u2014sometimes, you just have to ask for the information yourself! An old woman, Grandma Edna, went to the doctor for her annual checkup. An old woman, Grandma Edna, went to the doctor for her annual checkup. The doctor, trying to make polite conversation, asked, \u201cMrs. Edna, how are you feeling these days?\u201d \u201cOh, I\u2019m feeling just fine, doctor,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I do have one little problem\u2026 I seem to be passing gas quite a bit. It\u2019s nothing too bad \u2014 they\u2019re silent,<\/p>\n
and they don\u2019t smell at all. In fact, I\u2019ve probably passed gas about 10 times just sitting here talking to you\u2026 but you\u2019d never know because they\u2019re completely harmless.\u201d The doctor smiled, nodded, and scribbled something on his notepad. Alright, Mrs. Edna, I\u2019m going to give you these pills. Take them twice a day and come back in a week.\u201d A week later, Edna walked into the office, arms crossed and looking furious. Doctor! I don\u2019t know what those pills did, but now my gas smells terrible!\u201d The doctor looked up, grinning. \u201cGreat! Now that we\u2019ve fixed your sense of smell, let\u2019s work on your hearing.\u201d LOL!! Hope this joke will make you smile! Have a nice day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
