Alright so this guy wasn't a customer (in that he wasn't a patient @ the hospital) so move this to where appropiate if this is the wrong area.
Anyways awhile back now I'm working a dayshift in xray (rare as im 90% of the time on nights and evenings as i prefer em lol).
phone rings I answer. It's some professer from the local university who tells me:
He recently attended to conference/presentation at a hospital in toronto and they talked about a paticular type of contrast that was used in an imaging test.
Whatever he rattled off I knew we didn't use in xray or cat scan OR mri (the 3 areas i'm familiar with).
So I told him well we don't use it in these area, i told him to try talking to someone in either ultra sound or nuclear medicine.
Turns out he already had. He'd called the hospital FIVE times that day trying to find someone to answer his question.
well i told him sorry I coudln't help him and i had to get back to work (you know my job... NOT talking on the phone to blow hard profs).
well about 5 min later phone rings again and lo and behold it's prof. blowhard again.
cept he got me on the phone.. AGAIN.
He goes on about how he's been transferred around numerous times and can't get an answer about 'contrast agent whatever it was' that he heard about in the presentation ni the hospital in toronto (and note i don't work IN toronto i work about 2 hours away from it. and ther'es like... 8 hospitals in toronto lol).
finally after hearing him go on i just told him 'sir I'm not being paid to look up your information for you why don't you try calling the hospital you saw the presentation at or use google to find your own information' and hung up.
he stopped calling us
