I got a problem.

We have a dear elderly patient that is very hard to understand because of her thick accent.
Our conversations are short but often hilarious.

The other day she requested I give her a number for a store that sold walkers because the one that she had didn't have wheels in the back and stuck in place.
She then requested I hurry because she had to go get her nails done. As I looked up the number I asked about getting her nails done.
"I miss my last appointment" She said shaking her head.
"You're getting a manicure?" I asked.
"No- I do my fingers. I get foot."
"I told them...."

(Loooong pause)

"I got a problem."

and that was it. End of story.
FAVORITE.
