[phone rings]
Caller: Ack! We're new to the area and my wife has an emergency with a tooth that chipped/cracked/totally fell out and DOOM and DESTRUCTION and the END OF THE WORLD!!!!!
TBQ: Okay, have her come in today, the doc will be happy to see her.
Caller: Actually today's not so great for her because she's busy. Can she come in Friday or Saturday?
TBQ: Okay. If you really think she can wait that long. We can squeeze her in tomorrow. We've got a little opening around noon that -
Caller: No! Noon is impossible! She works in the city and it'd be a big pain to have to rearrange her schedule to come in at noon. Can she come in first thing?
TBQ: [looks at the schedule she is going to have to rearrange, rolls eyes, but continues since this is still supposedly an emergency] Okay. Tell her to come in first thing in the morning, in fact earlier than that if she can make it. We're booked solid with patients but if she can make it here early enough we'll try to see her before - or squeeze her in during.
Caller: Okay good, great, thanks.
[hangs up]
[five min later, phone rings again]
Caller: Hi, we just spoke about my wife? Would it also be possible for her to get a cleaning at the same time?
TBQ: Really no.
