Huh?

My iPhone rings. It's a hospital extension, so I pick it up. It turns out it's one of my call partners.



Dr. Grumpy: "This is Dr. Grumpy."

Dr. Nerve: "Hi, Ibee. I'm over at the hospital."

Dr. Grumpy: "What's up?"

Dr. Nerve: "Will you have time in the next week or two to talk about something on the phone?"

Dr. Grumpy: "I have time now. What's up?"

Dr. Nerve: "I'm busy. I'll call you back when I have time. Thanks."


He hung up.

Is that the famous Dr. Last Nerve ?

Sounds like a classic case of "calling someone with the intention of leaving a message on their voicemail and then being surprised when you actually reach them instead."

When will you ever recognize that my time is infinitely more valuable than yours? Geesh.

He told the patient's deaf but not blind (angry, puzzled, hopeful, jerk, downcast, etc.) (wife, son, great-grandfather, second-cousin removed, pastor, first grade teacher, etc.) that he would consult with a world-renowned neurologist and expert, and promptly dialed the phone number.

He started selling Amway and wants you to invite him to dinner.

You have the most interesting encounters.

Well, I hope his medical skills are better than his social skills.

Best agree to meet in the hallway at the hospital for a quick getaway/timely interruption.

Whut? I've had someone like this on the phone asking about removalists and removals before! They were planning a move half a year in advance and said they would call back closer to the date! Haha!
