>> The operator replied,
>> "Let me put you on hold

>> "I have good news.
>> Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well.
>> Her blood pressure is fine;
>> her blood work just came back normal, and her physician,
>> Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow."
>> The grandmother said,
>> "Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried.
>> God bless you for the good news."
>> "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"
>> The grandmother said,"No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302.
>> No one tells me a thing."
