Why?!?!?!

I have to admit that I'm guilty of doing that (calling repeatedly). But... it was only when it was for something urgent and I was hoping they were on their way back from the potty, getting water, etc.

Aha!! It was you calling me....How can I help you?

Just wondering what you were doing in the potty for so long

we dont answer during lunch hour unless it is a # we recognize(family).
we arent getting paid during that hour to answer the phone so why should we? what makes us mad is that that phone is our private number. we wonder how some people get that number, we never give it to patients yet we get a TON of calls from patients on that line.

I love the pushy ones who want to knwo when my boss will call them back or complain to me b/c he hasn't!

I apologize and make excuses for him, like a good worker bee, but when they become insitant that they want to know when...I finally say, I can give him the message, but I can't pick up the phone and dial it for him and MAKE him call you back.

I say that too. There is this one lady that calls all the time and when I tell her that the person is not there would you like to leave a message she is like I did did you give it to him which my response is yes. then she says well can you make sure that he calls me. I said I can give him the message it is up to him weather or not he will call you. I can not make him do anything

Wack jobs I tell you

also had this man call and he hung up with his LO because his phone was "Humming" and when he called back it was still humming. He said that he will call back later hopefully the humming will stop

The funniest line about doctors is in the movie Airplane, the stewardess ask Leslie Nielsen what he would like to eat, "fish or chicken" and he (the doctor) says as deadpanned and serious as can be, "I'll have the lasagna"....it kills me everytime because its so darn true.

True! Alittle off topic but, I hosted Thanksgiving at my house I thinkit was 02. My H's family was there, and his SDM brother, who I am not a fan of, asked if he could bring his Dr friend that had no where to go. I of course said yes, as I always seem to get the stragglers, and usually with pleasure as I feel no one should be alone on a holiday, unless they want to be.

I had a SPREAD out and about 15 people. I had red wine, white wine, caffine soda, caffine free soda, sprite, diet, etc. Also had beer.

This guy, a guest in my home, whom I've never meant, calls himself Dr. Dave...(yes he is an MD) comes in my kitchen while I am taking the turkey out of the oven, apron, mits and all and asks if I could make him some tea!

I politely obliged. My mom was helping me and almost fell on the floor laughing.

About an hr later he asked for another cup!

I am ever so grateful for caller ID at work. I only pick up the phone for people I know. Other than that everyone gets voice mail. Love it.

I think when many people call a place of buisness, they turn off their brains first...

I had a call today... "Hello is Suzy there?". I tell him I am sorry, but she has already left for the day and will not be back until tomorrow at 8 and may I take a message. He tells me know, says good bye and hangs up.

3 mins later... another call, SAME GUY! "Hello is Suzy there?". I fight laughter and tell him I am sorry, but she had already left for the day. I get "Oh okay." and he just hangs up.

What, did he think she would just poof into her office?
