Unfiltered Story #263575

(I’m in the hospital for an illness. I have massive phone anxiety, but my boyfriend has been there most of my stay to handle what’s needed done, mostly food orders. He has to run out for a few hours, so I page a nurse. I start worrying that it might be a silly request and she might refuse.)
Nurse: What can I do for you?
Me: I..um…I…can’t call down my food order…
Nurse: Oh, does the phone not work?
Me: I can’t call..I have phone anxiety…
Nurse: Oh, okay! Do you know what you want?
(I tell her, and she makes sure she knows all my option choices before calling. After she hangs up, she gives me a comforting smile.)
Nurse: They’ll have it up in a bit. If you need me to make another call for you, don’t be afraid to ask.
(She also stopped by every so often to check on me for the rest of my stay.)
