ER Questions

As oldest daughter was in X-Ray, the admitting nurse is hanging around asking questions -

N: So do you have any medical history?
OD: I had my tonsils out once, but I think they grew back.

N: No.... Uhm, does your family have any kind of medical history?
OD: My mother died of cervical cancer....

N: No, no, no!

N: Sighes, Do you feel safe in your home?
OD: Of course I am safe in my home!

So I almost fall out my restaurant booth as Oldest Daughter is telling me this! Talk about cross-cultural communication! I thought I was going to die! I am still not sure if OD understands what was so funny about this exchange.

Though, I really do feel for the girl and her steel encased fingers.....
