布朗醫(yī)生日記
——法律術語

Sanford J.Brown

A recent phone call to our office illustrated the importance of listening carefully - and always maintaining your sense of humor.

"Hello,Dr.Brown′s office," Isabel said cheerfully,as she picked up the phone.The voice on the other end was thick,female and Southern.

"Howdy.Can Ah talk to the person who handles the penis?" said the woman.

Isabel almost fell off her chair.For a moment,she was speechless."What did you say?" she asked.

"Ah said,can Ah talk to the person who handles the penis?"

Now Isabel was getting mad."Who is this?"

"This is Ms.Paige."

"Is this some kind of crank phone call?" Isabel asked.

"Ah sure don′t know what yaw talkin′ ′bout,ma′am.Is there someone there that Ah can talk to about gettin′ some medical records?"

"Medical records? Oh," Isabel illuminated."You want to talk to the person who handles subpoenas!"

"That′s what Ah said," said Ms.Paige,"the person who handles the penis."

"That′s me," said Isabel,"whose do you need?"

最近，診所接電話的經(jīng)歷告訴我們傾聽的重要性，還需保持你的幽默感。

“布朗醫(yī)生診所，”護士伊薩貝爾拿起電話和藹地說。打電話來的是位女性，嗓音較粗，南方口音。

“你好，請管penis(陰莖)的人接電話。”那個女人說。

伊薩貝爾差點沒從椅子上跌落下來。過了好一會兒，伊薩貝爾不知道說什么好，“你說什么？”她問道。

“我說，我能不能和管penis的人講話。”

伊薩貝爾簡直氣瘋了：“你是誰？”

“我是佩奇女士。”

“這是那種騷擾電話嗎？”伊薩貝爾問。

“我聽不懂你說什么，不過，女士，能幫我找一下管醫(yī)療記錄的人嗎？”

“醫(yī)療記錄？明白了”，伊薩貝爾好像聽懂了。“你是想找負責subpoenas(與penis近音)的人！”

佩奇女士說：“是呀，我想找管penis的人。”

“我就是”，伊薩貝爾說，“要誰的病歷？”
