“I need a
doctor.”
“I’m a
doctor.”
“No. I need a
doctor.”
“This is
Doctor Oppenheim. You’re speaking to a doctor.”
“No! No! I
need a doctor!!”
Like most of
you, I hear what I expect to hear. It turned out the guest didn’t need a doctor
but an adaptor for American
electrical voltage. He had made the same request – in a foreign accent – to the
hotel operator who immediately connected him to me.
It’s the
fourth time in about 30,000 phone calls that I’ve had this dialogue.
