  • Time to go to the zoo!

    Had a call around 3 am. Inhouse.

    Me: Front Desk.

    Lady: Help, my husband's very ill! His chest hurts! Do you have a doctor!

    (I could hear the husband groaning loudly in the background from pain so I didn't want to pepper her with too many questions.)

    Me: No, we don't have any doctors here. Shall I call him an ambulance?

    (At this point I was really hoping for a yes because the only other option was to call a taxi to the hospital and the taxis at this time are really wary.)

    Lady: And where is this ambulance going to take him??

    Me: Um. To the hospital?

    Lady: Are there doctors in this hospital??

    Me: Yes. Lots.

    Lady: How long will it take??

    Me: Um. Ten minutes?

    Lady: Ok then.

    As I hung the phone to phone 911, I was thinking, where else does an ambulance take you, to the zoo? :\ And what kind of hospital doesn't have any doctors?

    Epilogue: I guess I shouldn't make fun of them because they left me a small tip, my first one in years! I guess the hospital really treated him well.

    I really hope English wasn't her first language, and that explains her understanding the word doctor and not hospital or ambulance. Otherwise I've got nothing to understand this conversation. Congrats on your quick work and the tip though.

      A) To a "cornfield meet" with an asshole who's either oblivious, or who believes that his green light overrides the ambulance's lights and siren.

      B) A vetrenary hospital?

          Looks like the Navy has to deal with the same kinds of SC that stores do.

            A veterinary hospital has doctors. They just can't legally work on humans.

              Did you ever hear me referring to SCs as humans?

                Ambulance ride to the zoo? Sure, why not? The zoo is cool.
