Mary: "Dr. Grumpy's office, this is Mary."
Mrs. Frantic: "Hi, I have an urgent issue and need to get in RIGHT AWAY!"
Mary: "Hang on... Okay, the doctor can see you this afternoon, at 4:30... we also have an opening at 8:15 tomorrow morning, or..."
Mrs. Frantic: "Those won't work, um, I, uh, I'm actually out-of-town, on vacation, for another 2 weeks."
Pause
Mary: "Okay, when will you be back?"
Mrs. Frantic: "I don't have my work schedule here. Can I just call you after I get home?"
"So, were you able to get us those dinner reservations at Be Our Guest?"
ReplyDelete"No, I dialed Dr. Grumpy by mistake. I think I managed to fake my way through it though."
Well...There's urgent and then there's urgent!
ReplyDelete***sigh*** Another raise for Mary!
ReplyDeleteBut remember, it's URGENT!
ReplyDeleteWhy are there so many people with substance abuse problems these days?
ReplyDeleteWhew! I think I am feeling better already. Just so relieved that you're still accepting patients on an urgency basis.
ReplyDelete@Packer comparing that lady to people with substance abuse problems is offensive. To people with substance abuse problems.
