A 75 Year Old Lady rings her local NHS hospital and this conversation
follows:
'Hello I'd like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree. She was
admitted last week with chest pains and I just want to know if her
condition has deteriorated, stabilised or improved?'
'Do you know which ward she is in?'
'Yes, ward P, room 2B'
'I'll just put you through to the nurse station.'
'Hello, ward P, how can I help?'
'I would just like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree, I was
wondering if her condition had deteriorated, stabilised or improved?'
'I'll just check her notes. I'm pleased to say that Mrs Tiptree's
conditioned has improved. She has regained her appetite, her temperature
has steadied and after some routine checks tonight, she should be well
enough to go home tomorrow.'
'Oh that's wonderful news, I'm so happy, thank you ever so much!'
'You seem very relieved, are you a close friend or relative?'
'No, I'm Mrs Tiptree in room 2b. They tell you f**k all in here.
