Beautiful.
Methinks someone didn't proofread the business cards.
Oh gosh, if it really is printed on their appointment cards, you could be getting A LOT of these sorts of calls.
I'm proud of you for not asking for a detailed description of her symptoms and telling her you thought her symptoms were all a product of her imagination and by God, you weren't going to waste your precious office hours seeing another freakin' hypochondriac.
You could have said, "Sounds like a brain tumor to me! If you're still alive in the morning, come on in!"
Yeah, I know, I'm an EVIL woman.
Sherrie: We've only gotten a couple of more calls, so I'm hoping that means they caught fairly fast.
V-grrrl: I was tempted, but what with privacy laws, I didn't want to become a felon.
Ha! That made me laugh. I've had something similar happen, but after three or so calls, the person figured it out.
Hopefully, the address on the card was right!
