I had to go for an mri on my chest like I dont already have enuff on my chest withese two huge waterwings
Arrived at hispital very efficient NOTA......
A young lady from some country near the Indian ocean VERY near the Indian ocean came into the waiting area and called out in a soft melodious voice Mrs Patel Mrs Patel
all of the poor ignored freezing canditates duly ignored her me I could hardly hear her cos I going deaf in one ear and dumb in the other. She called three more people in and so on until I was the last person left.
You Must be Mrs Patel she said to me with a pained look on her face. I am most certainly not I replied. So what is your name and why havent you registered as having arrived.
Now being the patient person I am I tried to pull my hair over my ears to disguise the smoke beginning to filter out of them . My name I said through gritted false teeth is Petal Knee thats right she pounced you are Patel
Petal petal petal I muttered behind her as we went down the passage,
Do you need me to strip I asked having had this done before no she said getting mildly miffed at me like it wasMy fault I hsd waited three hours after my appointment and made her late,
You only have to have a clothing free leg ???????? We can do the mri in a blink she said beginning to smile knowing we was nearly there
Just put your leg here
why I said feeling like alice at the mad hattters tea party
So we can do the mri on it
why would you want to do that I asked in a reasonable voice
She pulled her hair over her ears gave me a fixed stare that would have turned a princess into a stone
Then she said slowly word by word as you would to the demented
to find out whats wrong with it,
at this I found her patience a challange like a flag to a bull
I can tell you exactly whats wrong with my leg.
Really she said trying to show me she understood my brain wasnt quite up to scratch whats wrong with it dear
Nothing I said it has got sweet f#@king b all wrong with it,
And I see no reason to out my leg up there.
Well dear she said in honied tones dripping with arsenic
how else will we be able to check the patella.
The penny dropped like a ton of bricks and I smiled sweetly through the clouds of smoke pouring out of her ears and the tiny traces of fire escaping her delicate little nose and said
sweety my NAME Petal Knee and my chest is whats not right there is nothing wrong with the patella in my knee. Then Icouldnt help ut I cracked up with laughter
Shame was so embarrassed.....
Me well i spent weeks and weeks on my own and there is nothing that cheers one up like an afternoons entertainment

Oh my goodness that could only happen to you ... I must admit moving over half the country my accent is still foreign to the locals and they look at me in total confusion and I have only been living here 12 years...
But on a serious note ... Did you get your chest MRI or did she insist and doing your knee

Oh Blossom. That's brilliant. I don't know how you saw the funny side so quickly, but I'm glad you did. There's nothing like humour to get you through a sticky situation. And thank you for sharing. That's really cracked me up. I loved your descriptions.
That's the best laugh I've had this week! You couldn't make it up, could you? Did you actually get your chest scanned in the end? Good job your name isn't Chest Nut or she might have tried scanning your head as well!
hi,that was funny,but they do make alot of mistakes,one time l was in,we were all sat in a room and the consultant came in asked for a Mrs.Davis,found her and as l was sat next to her heard what he said, very calmly he said,we will cut you from here to here on here throat/neck for something,well her face was a picture,she said,OH MY GOD,IM ONLY IN TO HAVE MY INGROWING TOE NAIL DONE...there was another Mrs,Davis there aswell.hope your MRI went ok.
Hi blossom some people are just born to irritate one minute and make you laugh the next, on another note I'm sorry to say clots on the lungs can be quite serious, I had one when I was 18 just after my first born turned 7 months old it nearly killed me as it was travelling to my heart, I don't mean to scare you but I felt you should know. Tood luck with yours. Sithy
Iknow they are I always make light of serious stuff its how i cope I have to be checked for them reg as I am in heart failure also have blood disorder amongst other things thanks for caring nuff to tell me cyber hugz petal
That should be good kucl imean luck I don't know my brain is fuzzy today I hope your clots don't cause you any problems mine was broken down with warfarin I think
Still got it wrong good luck, there finaly I spelt it right good luck he he I got it right twice well good luck again and I truly do not mean to scare you concerning your clots. Gentle hugs the woman who is forever putting her foot in her mouth and can't spell, sheepishly yours. Sithy
Lol its okay my keyboard changes places each time I blink and is infested with b v and n, s instead ofbspaces petal
between your experiences and mine hospital wise we could maybe collabarate and write a book,i once ended up being taken in a wheelchair by a porter to neurology instead of urology despite it being clearly written on my letter!! also i had to have a ultra sound on my shoulder ladt week,and the stupid desk woman at outpatients sent us up to ultrasound maternity!!! wish they could all read!!, you will have to get a big board on a piece of string round your neck with your name on in capital letters!!!!
