Call Light Voice Mail

[StevenRN]

If we only had voice mail for call lights.....

Most of us have now learned to live with "voice mail" as a necessity, But

have you ever wondered what it would be like if every Nursing station had Voice Mail?

Imagine the patients' pressing their call light and hearing the following:

Thank you for calling the nurses station.

For English, Press 1.

For Spanish, press 2.

For all other languages, press 0.

Please select one of the following options:

Press 1 for bedpans.

Press 2 for water.

Press 3 for emergencies.

Press 4 for if you're just a pain in the a_ _.

I am sorry; all of our nurses and doctors are busy helping others who are REALLY SICK

However, you are important to us, and we will answer your call bell

on the following shift!

Please stay on the call button so we may become more agitated

and take it out on our families when we go home!

But, if you persist...

If you would like to speak to:

The Charge Nurse, press 1.

The Supervisor, press 2

The Administrator, press 3.

Your Lawyer.. Hang on and we'll give you some Versed.

To call a loved one and complain, press 5,

then enter his or her social security number, followed by the "pound"

sign.

If you don't get an answer, press # followed by I-AM-AN-IDIOT.

Finally....

If you've tried all of these options,

GO TO THE DANGED HOSPITAL DOWN THE STREET..

THEY GET PAID MORE ANDTHEY'RE NOT AS BUSY AS US...

THEY CAN AFFORD TO RUB YOUR DARNED BACK!

I read a joke like that once for Schizophrenics and how to call on the phone. It said if you have OCD press 3 then 4 and continue to repeat, if you are paranoid, press 5 and someone will listen to your phone call, if you are depressed, hang up, no one wants to talk to you anyway, etc.. I have it somewhere, It's really funny.

[nowplayingEDRN]
