Throwaway because he knows my main.
My boyfriend was having a slow day at work today, so he used his work phone (a number I don't recognise) to prank call me.
Back story to this prank. I'm having some health issues lately and recently got a referral to a hospital to have surgery, however I'm waiting on the hospital to review my scans to determine if it's urgent or not. It's been a little over a week now and I was told that I'll most likely receive a letter, but I would get a call if it was urgent and was being bumped up on the waiting list.
Back to today, I get a phone call from this number and I answer it. The person from the other end (in a deep voice) says "Hi [name], this is [name] from [hospital]." To which I responded, "Oh, hello." Then the person on the other end bursts out laughing. Me, thinking it's a medical professional, I have a few split seconds of concern and "what the fuck" before it registers and my boyfriends says, "it's me". I didn't respond, and he repeated "it's me," again.
Guys, I was fucking PISSED. He's usually such a sweet guy, and this was a really horrible prank to play.
In his corner, I never told him that the hospital would only call me if it was urgent.
In my corner, it's so, SO frustrating having to wait and see what's going on with my body and he knows it.
He's since apologised, I told him that I felt embarrassed and frustrated. I haven't asked if his colleagues knew about the prank or knew the backstory behind it, because I'm too scared to find out the answer. I get it, he thought he was being harmless, but I'm upset but I'm unsure if this is an over reaction or not.
TL,DR: Boyfriend played a prank on me and called up pretending to be a doctor. I'm upset. Not sure if I should be upset.
