Am I All Right
Am I All Right
While
John Gilbert was in the hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his
operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so. The following
day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone. When he was alone, he
telephoned the hospital exchange and asked for Doctor Millington. When the
doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain
patient, a Mr. John Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Gilbert’s operation had been
successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr. Gilbert
would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay
in the hospital for another two weeks. Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he
was a relative of the patient “No” the patient answered, “I am Mr. John
Gilbert.”
