Paging Doctor Cymbeline
AUSTRALIA, FUNNY NAMES, HOSPITAL, WORDPLAY | HEALTHY | MARCH 9, 2020
(I work on the switchboard for a major hospital. We take a lot of calls, have a lot of options to put callers to, and are, unfortunately, very used to callers giving us very little information so we have to guess the rest.)
Me: “Good afternoon, switchboard.”
Internal Caller: “Yeah, can I speak to Imogen?”
Me: “Imogen who?”
Internal Caller: “I don’t know.”
Me: “Uh, okay. Do you know what Imogen does or what department she works in?”
Internal Caller: “I don’t know; the doctor just wants a copy of an X-ray.”
Me: *light-bulb moment* “OH! You want to speak to imaging!”
