A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital, and she timidly
asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a
patient is doing?"

The operator responded, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the Patients
name and room number?"

The grandmother in her weak tremulous voice 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, "Oh, good News.
Her nurse has 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 Tuesday."

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 $HIT!

I don't think the joke makes sense. I believe it is illegal to give patient info out over the phone. Has to do with patient confidentiality. My wife is a nurse.

It's true though, they don't tell ya $hit.
Also, the nurses don't respond very quickly when you press them little nurse call buttons.
when I was in the hospital with a heart condition a few years back, I learned to unplug the heart monitor when I wanted a nurse in the room.
Amazing how quickly they come to your room when you start heart rate drops to a flat line...

Back in the old days you could find out how a patient was doing. Now, with HIPPA, the only people who know your condition are the folks at the billing agency and your insurance company.

Looks like somebody forgot to take their happy pill this morning. He's right though, but just a little light on the delivery.
