You guys and gals aren't going to believe what just happened...

Well, you probably will...
I went up to the front of my dental office and I saw that a fax transmission had come in. so I take a look and see that it is a non-gynecological cytology report which indicates that the patient has malignant breast tumor.
The name of this patient, her docs, her address is all over this misplaced document.
So I call the number on the form and a lady answers and I tell her what just came to my office inappropriately and she says, "Oh well, that's a different department..." and trails off...
I said, "Listen, ma'am, this is a positive report for a serious malignancy and was obviously being sent somewhere for a REASON, and that the person who did not receive this information may very well be critical in the treatment for the patient and this communication should be redirected. Don't you think?"
So the lady said, "OK, fax it back to me and I'll see it gets to where it's supposed to go." I thanked her and faxed it immediately.
The question I asked myself, as Clint Eastwood once memorably asked is, "Do you feel lucky?" I hope and pray this winds up where it belongs. I have no other numbers to call to ensure that it does, and I'm sure not going to call the patient whose name I know...and the fact is that I may know that she has cancer before she does.
What a horror...what a society!
Sorry, had to vent.
Because evryone knows when they run medical tets they take the ONLY copy of the results and fax it to a random number, right? :whatever:
There is a huge number of really stupid posts that follow.

Everyone also knows that when you fax a document somewhere the whole document gets turned to electrons and fired down the phone lines, not leaving a copy in the "sent" tray. They actually have to fax it back to ensure the sender has a copy :lmao:

Funny how you and I noticed that right off but the monkey herd over there is still screeching and throwing virtual poop at the health care system isn't it? :-)

Have they never used a fax machine to realize what a stupid statement that was to make? :rotf:

Once again, we don't call 'em DUmmys for nothing.

And they like to think of themself as intellectually superior. :mental:

they have superiority fantasies, but the bugs in their hair are smarter

Two things:
1) They have superior superiority fantasies. They outdo the other idiots who have superiority fantasies.
2) Individually, the bugs in one DUmb****'s hair are smarter than the DUmp, collectively.

From the first post, I come to these conclusions:
1. The receiver of the fax works in a dentist office, probably the receptionist.
2. The sender of the fax is a bright as a burned-out light bulb in a power failure.
3. The receiver of the fax is just as bright
4. Both are probably blond.
5. Both would have to study to take a pregnancy or a drug test, and would fail either
6. Why not just forward the fax to the proper recipient, destroy the original, and cut out the "middle man", since most faxes would have the name of the institution to where it would be going, if not the number.
7. I wish I knew the name of this office and where it was located, so I will NEVER darken its door.

I've been watching this primitive for quite a while; given the peculiar times this primitive posts, I'm wondering if it's actually the cleaning lady in a dental office.
