We do the scheduling for a chiropractor client of ours, and the following conversation took place one Tuesday between a caller and my coworker:
Caller: Hi, my son had an accident last night and broke his arm. I would like to set up an appointment with Dr. L.
EM: Ma’am, Dr. L is a chiropractor.
Caller: I know. I’m a patient of hers.
EM: Ok, well, how old is he?
Caller: 2 1/2
EM: I’m sorry but she doesn’t see children that young.
Caller: Well…what am I supposed to do?
EM: Excuse me?
Caller: You know, like where do I take him?
EM: Perhaps the hospital?
