Call of the day: Context is everything

January 15, 2010 by Dr. V

Receptionist: Hello, how may I help you?

Caller: My chihuahua ate half a Hershey’s Kiss! Does she need to be seen?

Receptionist: Just that one half? You’re sure?

Caller: Yes, just that one.

Receptionist: Let me talk to the doctor. Hang on…………..OK, let me go over what she said-

Caller (interrupting): I meant to tell you, it’s one of those GIANT ones. Does that make a difference?

Receptionist: Why yes, it does.
