The hospital was very busy.The nurse hurried from patient to patient.They did not have time to talk to them or answer their questions.Instead they just gave them their medicines, made their beds and moved on.

The head nurse was as busy as a bee.She had to walk around with the doctors, make sure the nurse were doing their work, complete her reports and answer the phone.

Many of the phone calls were from the friends and relatives(亲属)of the patients.They were telephoning for information about the people in the hospital.

One phone call, however, was a little different from all the others.

The phone rang and the head nurse answered it.“Hello,”she said.

At the other end of the line a voice replied,“Good morning!I'm phoning about Fred Lee.Could you tell me how he is, please?”

The head nurse looked at her notes and said,“Mr Lee has had his operation, and is resting.”

“Can you tell me if this condition(状况)is good?”the voice asked.

“Yes,”the woman replied.“He is comfortable and the operation is a success.”

“When do you think he will be able to go home?”the man asked.

“Oh, today is Monday.Perhaps at the end of the week,”the head nurse said.Then she asked,“May I tell him who is asking about him?”

“Yes,”the man said.“Fred Lee.”

“No, that's the patient's name,”the head nurse said.

“Yes.And I am the patient.Phoning you is the only way I can get any information about my condition.”
