Smart Senior Lady Calls The Hospital. By The Time She Is Finished, The Operator Is Cracking Up

Senior citizens are a very valuable part of society but they are also a group of individuals that tend to get the short end of the stick. When most people think about senior citizens, they think about people sitting in a rocking chair, watching the world go by or perhaps living in a retirement community in Florida. The fact of the matter is, however, senior citizens can be quite awesome and they certainly do much more than wasting their golden years.

Of course, there are likely to be more health problems when we hit those years but most senior still are able to get around quite well and they can even have a lot of fun. As an example, George HW Bush, the former president, was skydiving until he was in his 90s. George Burns lived to be 100 and he smoked cigars for the majority of his life. There is even a senior grandmother in England who snuck out of a nursing home to get a tattoo!

That is really only the tip of the iceberg. Think about the following story that I heard not all that long ago. A woman called the hospital and what happened is beyond hilarious. Just wait until you hear it and you will be smiling ear-to-ear.

A sweet old lady telephoned St. Joseph’s Hospital. She asked, “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?”

The operator said, “I can. What the name and the room number?”

The old lady said, “Norma Findlay, Room 302.”

The operator replied, “Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse.”

After a few minutes the operator returned to the phone and said, “Oh, I have good news, her nurse just told me that Norma is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine, her blood work just came back as normal, and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged on Tuesday.”

The old lady said, “Thank you. That’s wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you!”

The operator replied, “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?”

The grandmother said, “No, I’m Norma Findlay in 302. No one ever tells me sh*t.”
