Forest Gump

The other day at work, I opened my office door to let some of the cold air out. My office is adjacent to a patient waiting area. My ears picked up a voice that sounded like Forest Gump. He was so polite and innocent in his conversation. Not having seen this person and hearing him from my office, I prepared the paperwork for the next patient I needed to call back and schedule a test for. I stepped out of my office and called the patient name, and an elderly gentleman stood up and said, "yes ma'am, that is me, are you ready for me now?" It was Forest---only in his seventies. It was a pleasant time conversing with him and I so wish more folks could be as polite as he was. Thank you Forest for a lesson well taught!
