How not to answer the mobile

Post by bessie »

Well my mobile rang just as I was holding the uterus of a cow while the vet stitched her up after a difficult calving.Thinking it was my friend asking where I was I answered and shouted my hands are inside a cow ring me back.
A somewhat amazed guest rang back and asked did I normally answer my phone during surgery.I can only image their thoughts and images .
Having explained what really had happened they were pleased to hear a happy outcome of a live calf,promptly booked and asked for update of mother and baby.I just hope I have not put them off eating beef.
I must be more careful on answering my mobile.
:oops:

Glad to hear mother and calf doing well.

I've been caught out with a few awkward moments like that too. I used to have two mobiles when I worked - one I kept separate for business use only, so that I knew if the call was guest related but it became too expensive to keep it up and not so important now that I've given up work.

Reminds me of that TV programme with the vet Tristram set in the Yorkshire dales (I think).

On the contrary - it sounds as though you've hit on a winning formula :wink:

Great outcome for the cow, calf and rent. If anything you sounded like a genuine farmer and not a sales person!

The closest I've come was when I had problems with my Swedish cellphone in the US, and I was calling very expensive service calls to straighten it out.

In the middle of it all I got a call from a potential renter on my US cellphone. I thought it was my husband with an irritated voice shouted "I don't have the time right now!" in their ear.
That renter didn't call back.... :shock:
