Call Girl with Her Clothes On

What happens when a college student finds herself in need of some extra cash, and she only has time to work at night? Starting in 2019, author Cozette Zimmerman took a fairly generic part-time job working nights as a hospital phone operator while working full-time on her college degree.

In that job, she soon discovered that sometimes, at three o'clock in the morning, people really just need a better adult to tell them what to do-and her role was to be that better adult. For the first eight months, the calls were fairly regular and routine-well, as routine as a medical emergency in the middle of the night can be. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit and changed everything.

A Call Girl with Her Clothes On shares hilarious true accounts of working with patients during medical emergencies before and in the midst of a global pandemic. These short stories recall conversations and events that have stayed with Zimmerman, leaving her to wonder about the fate of the world.
