My mother in law is home from hospital and I had to figure out some inconsistencies in her discharge orders.
So, I call the hospital on the telephone and give them her name and date of birth, “November 9, 37”. The person at the hospital, “Is that 1937 or 2037?”
I very much hope that the person at the hospital was just momentarily distracted. 🙂
Random thoughts 
Oh my Lord.
I should have said, “No. 1837”. But I didn’t think of that until later. 🙂
I suppose it could also be burnout/exhaustion.
There’s these youtube clips i watch that you might find humorous. Stevieo: tips from the emergency room. Does really funny bits on patient scenarios and burnout in the field.
There’s one about cat allergies and inhalers that made me laugh pretty hard.
