The Unintentional Utterance

I just called a parent to tell them the results of a test we did while their child was in the hospital. I got the answering maching, and remembering that the mother said it was ok to leave the result on the machine, I left a message indicating the result. What I did wrong was end the message with, "See you soon!" Hmm... not my best moment of internship, for sure!

On another note, one that is unrelated to the title of this post....
My co-intern, David Drossner would like to be mentioned on my blog so here goes: "David Drossner."

Well, I guess can tell you a bit about him. He's got ridiculously curly hair that would be as difficult to uncurl, I imagine, as a dog's tail. He never wears his white coat. He's from Florida. He's married (sorry to those of you who are turned on by the prominent alliteration). He can be found reading the NY times at Highland Bakery on post-call days. He feels that the hospital librarian is the best looking librarian he has ever met. He often answers to nicknames such as "Drossy" and "D-Ross." I hope I am not too revealing in these details about you, David. I expect a comment from you.
