Bubbie Finkel Wants to Know

Bubbie Finkel telephoned Mount Sinai 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?"

Bubbie in her weak tremulous voice said, "Raizie Finkel in room 302."

The Operator replied, "Let me check. Oh, good news. Her records say that Raizie 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."

Bubbie Finkel 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 Raizie your daughter?" Bubbie Finkel said, "No, I'm Raizie Finkel in 302. Dr. Cohen doesn't tell me anything!"
