A
Doctor, A Nurse, And A Shredder
A
nurse was leaving the hospital one evening when she found
the doctor standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper
in his hand.
"Listen", said the doctor, "this is important and
my assistant has
left. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly", said the nurse, flattered that the doctor
had asked
her for help.
She turned the machine on, inserted the paper and pressed the
start button.
"Excellent! Excellent!" said the doctor as his paper
disappeared
inside the machine.
"I need two copies of that"

Doctor
- Patient Communication
A
woman, calling Mount Sinai Hospital, said, "Hello, I want
to
know if a patient is getting better."
The voice on the other end of the line said, "What is the
patient's
name and room number?"
She said, "Yes, darling! She's Sarah Finkel, in Room
302."
He said, "Oh, yes. Mrs. Finkel is doing very well. In fact,
she's had
two full meals, her blood pressure is fine, she's going to be
taken off
the heart monitor in a couple of hours and if she continues this
improvement, Dr. Cohen is going to send her home Tuesday."
The woman said, "Thank God! That's wonderful! Oh! That's
fantastic!
That's wonderful news!"
The man on the phone said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it
you must
be a close family member or a very close friend!"
She said, "I'm Sarah Finkel in 302! Cohen, my doctor,
doesn't tell me a
word!"
