Paging Doctor Cymbeline 
Australia, Funny Names, Hospital, Wordplay | Healthy | March 9, 2020 
(I work on the switchboard for a major hospital. We take a lot of calls, have a lot of options to put callers to, and are, unfortunately, very used to callers giving us very little information so we have to guess the rest.) 
 
Me: “Good afternoon, switchboard.” 
 
Internal Caller: “Yeah, can I speak to Imogen?” 
 
Me: “Imogen who?” 
 
Internal Caller: “I don’t know.” 
 
Me: “Uh, okay. Do you know what Imogen does or what department she works in?” 
 
Internal Caller: “I don’t know; the doctor just wants a copy of an X-ray.” 
 
Me: *light-bulb moment* “OH! You want to speak to imaging!”
