Sarah Finkel in ER Room 12 A woman, calling a local hospital, said, "Hello, I'd like to talk with the person who gives the information regarding your patients to find out if the patient is getting better, or doing as expected, or is getting worse". The voice on the other end of the line said, "What is the patient's name and room number?" She said, "Sarah Finkel, in ER Room 12." "I will connect you with the nursing station." "Emergency Department.... How can I help You?" In fact, she's had two full meals, her blood pressure is fine, her blood work just came back as normal, she's going to be taken off the heart monitor in a couple of hours and if she continues this improvement, Dr.Cohen is probably going to send her home soon." The woman said, "Thank God! That's wonderful! Oh! that's fantastic!! That's wonderful news!" The nurse said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you must be a close family member or a very close friend!" "Not exactly, I'm Sarah Finkel in ER Room 12! Nobody here tells me a damn thing!"
