So my dad’s in the hospital, it’s nothing too major he got pneumonia again, he gets it often. Anyway last night I talked to him on the phone and he was fine, he still didn’t get moved into a room from the ER. This morning I called back to see how he was doing and what are the odds someone with the same first name as my dad picked up the phone and sounded just awful like they were drunk and dying. I could barely understand them then the phone hung up
So I called back the ER and got the switchboard, sure enough wrong person, they transferred me to my dad who was upstairs in a room eating breakfast. Phew, now I feel bad about waking up the obviously sick and hurting person and confusing them on the phone that I was their son

Also HIPAA: Yeah we’ll just transfer random people to the wrong person in the hospital
