I WANTED TO………
A sweet grandmother (Catarina) telephoned Apollo Hospital , and timidly
asked:-
Catarina: "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is
doing?"
Nelly: (The operator responded), "I'll be glad to help you dear. What's the
patient's name and room number?"
Catarina: (In her weak tremulous voice) "Mrs. C. R. Miranda, Room 23."
Nelly: "Let me place you on hold while I check with her nurse."
After a few minutes the operator returned to the Phone.
Nelly: "Oh, good news. Her nurse has told me that Mrs. Miranda is doing very
well. Her blood pressure is fine; Her blood work just came back as normal. And
her physician, Dr. Pereira, has scheduled her to be discharged on Monday."
Catarina: "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried! God bless you for the
good news."
Nelly: "You are more than welcome. By the way, is Mrs. Miranda your daughter?
Catarina: "No…., I am the patient Catarina Ruzada Miranda in Room 23. I wanted
to know how exactly I am doing, because no one tells me anything!"
