A friend in need

I work on a helpdesk taking calls for repairs for 5 hospitals, I had a call from one of them to say there was a problem with an operating lamp in Day Surgery theatre. The next day a message was left on my answering machine with a number to call back asking if it was safe to use the lamp. My best friend was due to have day surgery that day but did not say in which hospital and you are not informed what time you will be operated on until you arrive. Halfway through the morning I suddenly remembered to call the number left about the operating lamp, the phone was answered by an anaesthetist, he asked where I was calling from, which I told him, and could not understand why I had been given that number to call back and that he couldn't help me as he was just about to anaesthetise a patient. In the early afternoon I received a mobile call from my friend from the same hospital, it was her on the trolley waiting to be anaesthetised when I called! She went off to sleep with a smile on her face. Result ....... two very surprised friends and a husband who thinks we are witches!
