how's Holly?

A woman telephoned Mount Sinai Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"

The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number?"

The woman answered, "Holly Finkel in room 302."

The operator replied, "Let me check. Oh, good news. Her records say that Holly is doing very well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back as normal and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged Tuesday."

The woman said, "Thank you. That's wonderful! I was so worried! God bless you for the good news."

The operator then asked, "You're more than welcome. Is Holly your daughter?"

The woman replied, "No, I'm Holly Finkel in room 302. Dr. Cohen doesn't tell me shit."
