: : : Hello dear friends:

: : : it's night, the nurse in the animal hospital calls the vet over an urgent case and she says:
: : : "sorry to drag you out"

: : : What does she mean: sorry for wasting his time, or waking him up, I couldn't find this combination:
: : : dragging somebody out.

: : : Thank you very much

: : It means to pull/drag you away from what you were doing. It's often used whem someone is relaxing after work and is called back in for some emergency or other.

: Thanks a lot.

Because it's night, "drag you out" is particularly appropriate because the nurse's call drags the doctor out of bed and away from his comfortable home.
