A patient was 20 minutes late for an initial appointment with the pediatric dentist. The secretary called them and this was the ensuing conversation:
Doctor’s Secretary: “You missed your appointment.”
Patient’s Father: “I’m here, you’re talking to me on my cellular!”
DS: “Sir, you’re not.”
PF: “YES I AM!”
DS: “Sir, I’m looking out at the reception area and you are not here.”
PF: “Madam, you gave me a form to fill out and I AM filling it out!”
DS: “Sir, do you see a secretary with short red hair standing and talking on the phone?”
PF: “You don’t have red hair, and why aren’t you looking at me?”
DS: “Sir, what name is on the forms you’re filling out?”
PF: “Dr. Smith.”
DS: “You’re at the wrong office, this is the office of Dr. Jones.”
PF: “Then why did they give me forms to fill out?”
DS: “Sir, I don’t know, but will you be coming to our office?”
PF: “Well, not if they can see my child here.”
