the receptionist asked me to confirm the emergency contact she'd entered for a shared appointment. i expected to see my name or her mother's. the form listed adrian and an email address belonging to a chatbot service
i asked how the assistant was supposed to answer a phone call during an emergency. she said it could provide excellent advice. the receptionist blinked and asked for an actual contact number
my girlfriend was embarrassed, then annoyed that i laughed. i told her i wasn't mocking the companion; i was asking what would happen if someone needed to reach a real person immediately
we updated the form with her mother's number. the assistant remained in her phone under favorites, between the dentist and the pizza place
