Hello...It’s God Calling


Friday afternoons at work are sometimes so hectic. Why do patient’s always wait until Friday at 4pm to call for a return-to-work note for Monday. As if I can just pull one out of my proverbial hat.

Did you think to ask the doctor when you saw him yesterday?

I forgot.

Well, I have to have the doctor’s okay in order to write a note for you, AND THEY ARE ALL GONE FOR THE WEEKEND!

As I took yet one more call from a patient who couldn’t understand why I couldn’t just write a note for him, I turned to a co-worker and said, Don’t give me any more calls—unless it’s God calling.

She very sweetly turned to me and said. Who do you think has been calling you?

I wish I’d thought of that.
