Chelle in MO Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I called our pediatrician's ofc. today and asked to speak to a nurse regarding ds15's cough. The receptionist asked if I could hold for a minute as there was a call ahead of mine, so I held. In the meantime, I was carrying on a conversation w/my kids. Nurse comes on the line while the kids and I are talking and says something that sounded to me like, "Are you the one holding for a nurse?" To which I replied, "Yes." Nurse then asked me for ds's birthdate, and I said, "5/15/96." (Fictional month and day ;)) Nurse then said, "NINETY-SIX?" and I said, "Yes". Nurse then said, "NINETY-SIX?" To which I again said, "Yes." And all the while I thought, "I know that's the right date. I mean, I was THERE! Why is she questioning the date?" Nurse said, incredulously, "And you're BREASTFEEDING him???" I said, laughing, "Noooo, I'm calling about his cough!" Nurse said, "Oh! When I came on the line, I asked if this was my breastfeeding call and you said yes! I guess I shouldn't judge you if you ARE breastfeeding him, but..." So I guess I didn't hear her accurately when she came on the line! We both had a good laugh! :lol: Edited January 27, 2012 by Chelle in MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle in MO Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think I figured out what probably happened! I think the nurse came on the line and said something like, "Is this the nursing call?" and I thought she was asking if I needed a nurse, so I said "yes." But she must've thought she said "breastfeeding" instead of "nursing." Hence the confusion. Yes, I needed a nurse for my ds15, but I wasn't NURSING ds15. Hee. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
